Hydra to Porto Heli Route Map
Hydra and Porto Heli sit on opposite sides of a narrow strip of water at the southern end of the Argolic Gulf, and the ferry between them is one of the shortest crossings you'll find anywhere in the Saronic. You leave Hydra's harbour, with its stone mansions stacked up the hillside and donkeys still doing the heavy lifting since cars have never been allowed on the island, and within a little over an hour you're tying up at Porto Heli, a low-key resort town on the Peloponnese mainland with a long, sheltered bay that doubles as a natural yacht anchorage. Check the schedule box above for the latest confirmed dates before you travel.
Sailings run once a day during the season, which makes this an easy add-on rather than a route you need to plan a whole trip around. Because the crossing tucks in close to the coast and threads through a stretch of water shielded by the Peloponnese, it tends to sit calmer than the open runs further out into the Saronic and Aegean, though it's always worth a glance at the forecast if strong meltemi winds are forecast in high summer.

- Greek ferries are generally safe and well-maintained; life jacket locations are posted throughout the vessel and a safety briefing sheet is usually displayed in cabins.
- Some booking sites charge a service fee on top of the base fare; the total shown at checkout is what matters, not just the headline price.
- At the destination port, the gangway opens as soon as the vessel is secured – gather your belongings before arrival so you can disembark promptly.
- Always cross-check your ticket details – date, vessel name, passenger count, and vehicle details – before the cancellation window closes.
- Short hops are a great way to visit a 'satellite' island – for example, the small island of Antiparos from Paros – without committing to an overnight stay.
