Piraeus to Porto Heli Route Map
Porto Heli sits at the far end of the Saronic catamaran run from Piraeus on Hellenic Seaways' Aero 4 Highspeed. The boat works down through Poros, Hydra, Spetses and Ermioni before finishing here, so the journey doubles as a tour of the gulf. It is a foot-passenger service with indoor seating and no vehicle deck.
Porto Heli is an upmarket, yacht-oriented resort town on the Argolis coast, set around a well-sheltered natural bay facing Spetses. The bay itself, ringed by low hills and lined with waterfront tavernas and moored yachts, is the main thing to look at. It works as a destination in its own right and as a mainland gateway to Spetses and Hydra.
Sailings run most days through the season, with fares starting around €54. The current timetable and prices are listed in the table below. Short local boats cross to Spetses in minutes, and the road north links you to Nafplio and the archaeological sites of the Argolid.

Hiring a car
Can you rent a car in Piraeus?
Yes, several agencies meet passengers directly at the ferry gates (E1 to E12), so there is no need to arrange transport into central Athens first. It suits travellers continuing on to the mainland rather than islanders, since central Athens is only 20 minutes away and has good metro and bus links. Compare local suppliers at Discover Cars.

Tips for the Piraeus to Porto Heli ferry
- Piraeus port is large, with departure gates E1 to E12 spread along the waterfront – allow extra time to find yours, as it can be a 15–20 minute walk from the metro station, and check the gate number printed on your ticket.
- Ferries to the Saronic islands – Aegina, Hydra and the nearby islands – depart from Gate E8, while Cyclades sailings (Mykonos, Santorini, Paros, Naxos) leave from gates in the E6–E10 range, so double-check your specific gate on arrival.
- Take Metro Line 1 or Line 3 to Piraeus station, then use the free shuttle bus that circulates around the port roughly every 10–15 minutes, linking the metro to all gates – useful if your ferry departs from a distant terminal such as E2 or E3.
- There is no parking inside the port itself, so if you are driving, use one of the private car parks nearby rather than looking for a space at the gate; ticket booths at each gate can print e-tickets if you have not already.
- If you have a connecting ferry from the same port, check the departure board immediately on disembarking and confirm the gate for your next vessel.
