Destinations
A region rich in history and natural beauty

The estate sits at the heart of one of Greece’s most culturally significant coastlines. Our concierge arranges every excursion – private transfers, guided tours, dining reservations, and boat departures from the estate’s own dock.

Hydra
15 min by boat

One of Greece’s most celebrated islands, just minutes from the estate’s private dock. Car-free cobblestone streets, neoclassical mansions, intimate galleries, waterfront tavernas, and a timeless Aegean atmosphere that has drawn artists and writers for generations. Walk the harbour, swim from the rocks, or dine overlooking the port as the sun sets.

Direct from the estate dock
Ermioni
15 min by car or boat

One of the oldest settlements in the Argolid, perched on a narrow peninsula. Ermioni’s harbour, weekly fish market, and waterfront tavernas offer an authentic slice of coastal Greek life. The headland walk through ancient pines to the Poseidon sanctuary is one of the quietest, most beautiful trails in the region.

Short drive from the estate or by boat from the dock
Porto Heli
30 min by car or boat

Often called the “Greek Riviera,” Porto Heli is one of the most cosmopolitan coastal destinations in the Peloponnese. An upscale marina, beach clubs, waterfront restaurants, and a refined summer atmosphere draw discerning visitors from across Europe. Ideal for a leisurely afternoon by the sea or an elegant evening out.

By car or boat from the dock
Spetses
30 min by boat

A cosmopolitan island with a proud naval heritage. Grand 18th-century mansions line the harbour, pine forests shade walking paths to secluded beaches, and horse-drawn carriages move through the car-free old town. Spetses blends sophistication with the easy rhythms of island life.

Epidaurus
50 min by car

Home to one of the best-preserved ancient theatres in the world, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built in the 4th century BC. The acoustics remain extraordinary – a whisper from the stage reaches the highest row. During summer, classical performances under the stars bring the theatre to life exactly as it was intended.

Private transfer or self-drive
Mycenae & Nemea
55 min – 1 hr by car

Two legendary destinations in a single excursion. Ancient Mycenae – the kingdom of Agamemnon – reveals the Lion Gate, royal tombs, and the cyclopean walls that have stood for over three millennia. Continue to Nemea, where the ancient stadium sits beside one of Greece’s finest wine regions, producing celebrated Agiorgitiko reds. Vineyard visits and tastings can be arranged.

Private transfer or self-drive
Poros
30 min by car or boat

A serene, green island ideal for a peaceful day away. Visit the hilltop Clock Tower for panoramic views, explore the pine-surrounded Monastery of Zoodochos Pigi, or swim from quiet pebble beaches. The narrow strait between Poros and the mainland creates one of the most picturesque harbours in the Saronic Gulf.

By boat from the dock or by car
Nafplio
1 hr by car or boat

The first capital of modern Greece and one of the most beautiful towns in the Peloponnese. Venetian fortresses crown the skyline, Ottoman fountains mark quiet squares, and a refined waterfront promenade invites evening strolls. Climb the 999 steps to Palamidi Fortress for panoramic views, or explore the old town’s boutiques and galleries.
