Dinghy Sailing

A wide range of dinghies offers variety and the opportunity to progress for everyone from beginners to experts. We make the most of our extensive fleet of asymmetric boats with highly qualified and experienced instructors.

We offer racing five days a week, beginners are most welcome and the wide range of boats allows everyone to improve their sailing, regardless of age or ability. A weekly day sail takes us out of the bay to a local taverna for a swim and lunch and when conditions allow we take improver groups out of the bay into the Argolic Gulf to experience higher winds and the opportunity to sail the RS 800.

Mountain Biking

Porto Heli offers great riding for all abilities. Beginners will enjoy the wide open trails, which allow a relaxing introduction to off-road biking. Those willing to go further afield will experience more challenging climbs up to some fantastic viewpoints and fast, flowing descents to the quaint neighbouring villages and lots of technical singletrack trails.

Our Bikes

This is one of our recommended resorts for mountain biking and as such, we offer a fleet of 16 high quality mountain bikes, predominantly from Gary Fisher, two experienced bike guides, trained to cater for all your biking needs and on most days, there will be two or three rides available including routes with greater distances and more challenging terrain.

Book-a-Bike is also available for £55 per week, where you can reserve a specific size of bike for your use throughout your holiday. There is a Watersports Waiver discount of £80 per week that can be deducted from the Beachclub prices if you only wish to cycle during the holiday.

Scuba Diving

For all of our diving in Porto Heli we use the PADI recognised Kallianos Dive Centre based on a small island opposite the village of Ermioni, just a few miles from Porto Heli. The island is home to nothing more than the dive centre, it's diving platform and a shaded area to create the perfect getaway.

The Discover Scuba Diving course goes directly from the small island whilst those with more experience are taken by boat to a variety of dive sites nearby. Dive courses are bookable locally and are subject to avaiability

    What can I say except for thankyou. Had a fantastic time and only wish that I had booked 2 weeks instead of 1. Accommodation and food were lovely, although it really was that staff that made this holiday stand out above the rest. If you’re currently debating whether to book to go here or not, then debate no more and book it now... you won’t regret it!

    Had a great family holiday - voted by our daughter (aged 20 and three quarters) "the best ever" at Heli this July (2008). One week beach sailing - learning asymetrical techniques, sailing cats etc (in the course of a week I sailed a Laser (for the first time in 25 years) a Laser Stratos, a Laser 2000, an RS 400, RS500 and a Dart. My son went afloat in a 29er - I keeping that for next year.) followed a by a one week flotilla aboard a fantastic Dufour 34. I've cruised - flotilla and bareboat - in many parts of the med, but a flotilla is still the most fun: its more social and all the formalities are all handled for you. The daughter loved it so much she didn't come home, and now works behind the bar. Buy her a drink (Daisy) if you see her!
