The Peloponnese Seaside
Amanzoe - Porto Heli, Greece
The Southern-most region of Greece is the Peloponnese peninsula; and on the east coast, along the azure waters of the Aegean Sea is Porto Heli – a town epitomizing the region’s nonchalant beauty and mythological history. This is where one finds the latest of Aman Resorts’ jewels: *Amanzo’e*. Located among olive groves and unspoiled coastlines, the Amanzo’e is a faultless blend of Athenian architecture and contemporary luxury. No wonder Aman Resorts were awarded Best Hotel Group Worldwide.
The Peloponnese itself is surrounded by numerous uninhabited islets, ideal for day trips, sailing excursions and swimming in secluded coves. Ten minutes across the water from Porto Heli by water taxi is the cosmopolitan island of Spetses, known for its seafaring traditions, its heroic contribution to Greek Independence from the Ottoman Empire, its Venetian and neoclassical mansions with pebble mosaic courtyards, and its horse-drawn carriages. A bit farther away, but still within easy reach by water taxi is the island of Hydra. Populated by historic sea captain mansions which evoke an ambience of centuries past, Hydra is renowned for its vibrant dining scene and nightlife.
