The Area

Al Mare sits in an enviable position just a short amble from a sandy bay about 5km south of the upmarket resort of Porto Heli. For many years, the town and its surrounding area (the tip of the easternmost peninsula of the Peloponnese) has been second home to the Athenian aristocracy and Greek shipping magnates, who built sumptuous summer estates there. Today, it attracts the international jet set, from royalty to business tycoons, who come for the sophisticated atmosphere and the sense of hush-hush privacy.

Also known as the Greek Riviera, the peninsula of Porto Heli is lined with gorgeous beaches and lapped by sparkling blue seas. It's a great place for water sports, yachting and island-hopping - the cosmopolitan islands of Spetses and Hydra are just across the water.

Apart from the sandy beach accessed via a path from the end of the garden, guests staying at Al Mare have numerous other beaches nearby including those of Kosta and Kounoupiou.

Porto Heli, with its promenade of seafront bars and restaurants and its shops, is less than 10 minutes' drive away.

For history lovers, one must-see is the archaeological site of Epidaurus. Its stunning theatre is famed not only for its size and its sensational views, but also for its crystal clear acoustics, and there is much more to see besides.
