About the Spetses – Porto Heli crossing
Porto Heli on the Peloponnese mainland is reached from Spetses island by a short crossing of the Argolic Gulf. Hellenic Seaways operates the fastest service, taking just 10 minutes with its Aero Highspeed vessel. The alternative is provided by Magic Sea Ferries, whose vessel Magic completes the journey in 15 minutes.
Spetses to Porto Heli Ferry Schedule
Two sailings connect the ports every day. The first departure is at 14:45, operated by Hellenic Seaways. The day's final crossing is at 23:25 with Magic Sea Ferries. This route is one of the shortest scheduled ferry journeys in Greece, covering a distance of just a few kilometres across the water. The directness of the sea crossing contrasts with the significant road journey required to travel between these points by land.
Both operators run services throughout the week. Hellenic Seaways uses a modern high-speed catamaran, while Magic Sea Ferries operates a smaller passenger vessel. Passenger fares start from €10, though the price can change based on the season and specific booking conditions. Given the short duration, facilities on board are limited to seating and basic amenities.
