If we were to rank the various three-day weekends we get every year, the one that is available to us along with the celebrations for the Holy Spirit should naturally come in first place. The various festivities and events that take place the Monday when Lent begins may be more impressive, since they prepare us for Easter, this three-day weekend in late May/early June is the first chance many people get to escape to the countryside, to swim in the sea for the first time that year. And what’s more important than going for a nice swim?
Porto Heli may very well be the ideal destination for a three-day weekend away from everyday routine. It’s very close to Athens, so the trip doesn’t tire you, and the route itself, as soon as you enter Argolida, is very beautiful. And when you finally get here, anything is possible! Go for a swim at the Porto Heli beach or at Hinitsa, take short trips to Koilada, Aghios Aimilianos, Ververonta beach and everything else this region has to offer. And if you’re looking for something different go to the Didyma cave, or the Fragthi cave with its prehistoric settlement. You may not have time to see the ancient sights, but close to Porto Heli, you’ll find Troizina and Epidaurus. And if you’re coming from Athens or returning to it, Epidaurus is just along the way!
So, take your family and spend a lovely three-day weekend at Porto Heli!
