Ferry from Porto Heli to Spetses

Porto Heli sits at the tip of the Argolic peninsula in the eastern Peloponnese, and Spetses lies just across the water from it -- close enough that the crossing barely feels like a sea journey at all. This is one of the shortest ferry hops in Greece, run by Hellenic Seaways more as a quick shuttle than a full ferry voyage, and for travellers already in the Argolid it's often the simplest way onto the island without detouring via Kosta or committing to a longer trip from Piraeus. Coverage is filed a season at a time rather than fixed a year in advance, so check the schedule box above for the months currently confirmed.

Expect a single daily sailing rather than boats shuttling back and forth all day, so it pays to build your plans around that one scheduled departure rather than assuming you can simply turn up and go. The crossing itself sits inside the gulf rather than out on open water, so it stays sheltered and is rarely troubled by the rough seas that can disrupt longer island-hopping routes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Porto Heli to Spetses ferry

• If you are at a small island when a multi-day storm hits, accommodation will fill quickly as stranded passengers compete for rooms – secure yours immediately.
• Snacks in your bag reduce dependency on the onboard cafeteria and save money – nuts, crackers, fruit, and chocolate travel well.
• Seasickness is more common on high-speed catamarans than on conventional ferries – if you are susceptible, take medication 30–60 minutes before boarding.
• Once you arrive in Spetses, the island's car-free centre and horse-drawn carriage transport give it an elegance and calm that sets it apart among the Saronic islands. The Spetses Museum of History and Tradition offers insight into the island's proud role in the Greek War of Independence, and the pine-shaded coastline is dotted with appealing beaches.
