The Greek Peloponnese

The Peloponnese offers great sailing with an unspoilt stunning coastline to explore. The winds are very reliable with lighter breezes in the morning and steady force 3’s and 4’s in the afternoon. Our sailing area based around Porto Heli is a great base from which to explore the bustling tourist islands of Spetses and Hydra to the east and south east.

Plaka

Plaka is a small, pretty harbour lying at the head of a fertile valley, with a long pebble beach and a dramatic backdrop of high mountains.

Astros

Tucked underneath the mammoth mainland mountains is the bustling fishing village of Astros with a good harbour and sandy beach.

Navplion

Once the first capital of modern Greece, Navplion is a maze of intriguing narrow streets and squares, with buildings dating from the Venetian, Turkish and neo-classical era. The impressive 13th century Venetian citadel overlooks the harbour and town with bars and a lovely marble square.

Vivari

The fjord-like inlet to Vivari is magnificent with sheer cliffs rising from the clear blue sea. The entrance boasts a Venetian
mini-fort, which fell just a year after its construction in 1714.

Ieraka

Is a charming old hamlet located in a narrow bay. Typical picture postcard Greek whitewashed houses trimmed with cobalt blue and the odd taverna form a single line along the quayside.

Monemvasia

The historical port of Monemvasia is built on steep slopes; the beautiful medieval town with cobbled streets offers many excellent restaurants. A climb up a steep cliff path leads to the old town on top of the peninsula. The only surviving building on the top slopes is the precariously perched Byzantine church of Aghia Sofia.

Ermioni

Ancient Ermioni was once an important harbour, circled by a high wall. Today, little remains of the city and the village is relatively untouched by tourism.

Kiparissi

The bay is simply majestic. Slopes rise precipitously to razor sharp spines, from clear deep water. We moor along the quay in Chapel Cove, where there is fantastic snorkelling nearby.

Poros

The town built on a small island is attractive and the approach by sea one of the most beautiful in Greece. A popular tourist destination, especially with visitors from Athens, yet Poros manages to retain an appeal which draws people back time and time again.
