Poros to Porto Heli Route Map
Poros to Porto Heli is a long leg by Saronic standards, around two and a half hours on the Aero 4 highspeed catamaran with Hellenic Seaways. The time reflects the calls at Hydra, Ermioni and Spetses that sit between the two, rather than the distance itself. It is a foot-passenger service on generally sheltered water, and one of the more scenic ways to work down the gulf.
Porto Heli is an upmarket resort town on the Argolid coast, built around a well-sheltered natural bay full of yachts. Waterfront tavernas ring the water and the marinas and resorts are the main business of the place. It serves both as a holiday destination and as the mainland gateway to Spetses, which lies just across the channel.
Departures run roughly daily in the high season and rarely outside it. The live timetable and fares are shown below. If the timings do not work, going via Spetses is usually the answer, since the Spetses to Porto Heli hop is only a few minutes and runs more often.

Hiring a car
Do you need a car on Poros?
Not really. Poros is small, about 7 by 4 miles, and cars are banned from the tiny town centre in summer, so everyone parks near the port and walks. Scooters are cheap and cover the rest of the island easily, and small boats run constantly from the port to the beaches. Car hire does exist if you'd rather have four wheels; check current listings at Discover Cars.
