Porto Heli

Don’t tell this to anyone from Ibiza or the Côte d'Azur, but the Mediterranean’s most exclusive summer destination is Porto Heli, a hush-hush slice of paradise on the eastern tip of the Peloponnese.

Evia

Evia sits snuggly against the east coast of the mainland. Its towering peaks are a magnet for hikers and mountain bikers, and its beach-blessed coastline offers numerous possibilities for water sports enthusiasts.

Famed for its ancient civilisation, and the millennial-long engineering saga of its canal, the area of Corinth offers an intriguing insight into Greek history. From the stunning archaeological site of the Ancient Corinth to the idyllic, beach-fringed coastline, there's plenty to see and do.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Visit Mainland Greece?

Mainland Greece has long attracted discerning travellers with its blend of archaeological grandeur, refined coastal living and authentic Greek hospitality. Ancient landmarks, crystalline shores and timeless villages come together in a way few destinations can rival. From the Acropolis in Athens to the ancient theatre of Epidaurus and the elegant Argolid coastline, this is a region best explored at an unhurried pace. Our villas in mainland Greece provide the perfect base for discovering cultural treasures, exceptional cuisine and sparkling swimming spots, all without changing location.

Where Should You Stay in Mainland Greece?

Many of our luxury villas in mainland Greece are located around elegant Porto Heli, one of the Peloponnese's coastal enclaves. Overlooking the sparkling Saronic Gulf and within easy reach of Hydra and Spetses, it combines sophisticated waterfront living with access to some of Greece's greatest historical sites. For a greener, lesser-known escape, consider Evia, where pine-clad mountains, quiet beaches and traditional villages offer a slower pace of life.

How to Get to Mainland Greece

You can get to mainland Greece via Athens International Airport (ATH), which welcomes direct flights from across Europe, the UK and North America throughout the year.
