tourist centre because of its luxurious hotels, unique because of
its secure port, bright because of its 350 days of sunshine,
unforgettable because of its wonderful sunset, inexhaustible because
of its innumerable cultural activities. All these qualities made
Porto Heli, this little village of fishermen, a unique summer
holiday centre. Its first name, "ALlIS” meaning fishermen came from
the occupation of its inhabitants. However conquerors changed it
into "Porto Heli”. There's an ancient city at the bottom of the sea
near Hotel Giouli. We can distinguish the walls, the temple, the
Acropolis. Archaeological researches have proved that the city was
autonomous and rich (commerce, pottery, agriculture). For unknown
reasons, the story of the city is suddenly interrupted, leaving a
lot of unanswerable questions to the archaeologists.

Τoday, this village of fishermen, still maintaining its
charm has evolved into a tourist centre where a lot of ship owners
have had their houses built, a lot of luxurious yachts are sheltered
in its natural port. We are also certain that its modem and
comfortable hotels along with its luxurious rented rooms will make
your visit unforgettable. Its perfect road network and means of
transportation makes it even easier for you to visit the place and
enjoy its serenity, its warm climate and the traditional Greek life. Υου can spend your day οn its vast beaches, with pine trees that
reach the sand or in small picturesque bays, have lunch at the
traditional tavernas and ouzeri along the port and finally live an
intense night that will keep you awake till down.
