Getting from Alonissos to Porto Heli

If you are heading to Porto Heli from Alonissos you are making your way from the most remote of the Sporades group 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

There is no direct ferry from Alonissos to Porto Heli. Getting there means taking the ferry from Alonissos to Skiathos, flying to Athens and then taking the Saronic ferry from Piraeus to Porto Heli, which runs 4 to 5 times daily and takes around 2 hours. 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. Alonissos has no airport either. Taking the ferry from Alonissos to Skiathos, 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 Alonissos to Skiathos, 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, take the ferry from Alonissos to Volos, drive to Porto Heli via Athens and the Peloponnese, which takes around 6 to 7 hours in total, as the Piraeus ferry does not carry vehicles.
