The porto heli hotels have the privilege of being located in a place of amazing natural beauty. But there is much more to it. The wider area is one of immense historical and cultural value. There are plenty of archaeological excavations that have brought to light many buildings of the past such as the Acropolis of the Fishermen and important establishments at the port which were related to the commerce activities of the time. However, the place emerged and grew slowly and was always under the command and immediate influence of the great power cities of the time, Mycenae and Epidaurus.
From the porto heli hotels the visitor can travel around and discover plenty of sightseeings. Some of the most famous ones are the Church of Saint Aimilianos, which is located at the top of an artificially elevated hill on a natural island. In front of it lies a magnificent beach that is of unique natural beauty. There one can have a swim at the crystal clear blue waters and enjoy the greek sun. Another great place near porto heli hotels that one should definitely visit is the lagoon of Ververontas. The lagoon is located northwest of Porto Heli and according to legend many pirates used its bay in order to take refuge both from the rough seas as well as from the officials of the time. According to many of the residents of the area, its waters are considered to be thermal.
