Getting from Agios Efstratios to Porto Heli

If you are heading to Porto Heli from Agios Efstratios you are making your way from a small island in the northern Aegean to a sheltered harbour on the Argolic Gulf in the northeastern Peloponnese, on the opposite side of Greece. It has a marina, good beaches and Spetses visible across the water.

Take the ferry

Getting there means taking the ferry from Agios Efstratios to Lemnos, which runs 4 times a week in summer and takes around 1 hour 30 minutes, flying to Athens and then taking the Saronic ferry from Piraeus to Porto Heli, which takes around 2 hours with 4 to 5 daily departures. Note that the Piraeus to Porto Heli ferries are passenger only and do not carry vehicles.

Getting there by air

Porto Heli has no airport. The nearest airport is Athens. Taking the ferry from Agios Efstratios to Lemnos, flying to Athens and then taking the Saronic ferry from Piraeus to Porto Heli gives a total journey time of around 5 to 6 hours. In Greece, airlines do not operate direct inter island flights.

Your best option

Take the ferry from Agios Efstratios to Lemnos, fly to Athens and take the Saronic ferry from Piraeus to Porto Heli. It is the most practical approach. If you are traveling with a car, fly to Athens and drive to Porto Heli, which takes around 2.5 to 3 hours from Athens via the Peloponnese, as the Piraeus ferry does not carry vehicles.
