Ermioni and Porto Heli sit on opposite sides of the same stretch of the Argolic Gulf, and the ferry between them is less a sea voyage than a short hop across a sheltered inlet. Ermioni's harbour curls around a small, pine-covered peninsula, with the town itself a short walk from the quay; Porto Heli's waterfront is broader and busier, backed by the resort development the town is known for. Neither port asks much of you in the way of logistics -- both are compact enough to find on foot, and the crossing itself barely gives you time to settle before you're pulling in on the other side.
Because the two towns face each other across enclosed water rather than open sea, the crossing stays calm even when the wind is up elsewhere in the Argolic Gulf, which makes this one of the more reliable short hops in the area. It suits day-trippers moving between the two towns, and travellers using Porto Heli's road connections into the Peloponnese as a link to island-hopping further out.

Tips for the Ermioni–Porto Heli Ferry
- If you are island-hopping with heavy luggage, consider leaving the bulk of it in a locker or at your hotel on the main island and taking only a day bag on short hops.
- Rain gear is rarely needed on summer ferry crossings, but a waterproof layer is worth having in spring and autumn when showers are possible.
- Some short-hop routes operate more frequent services on weekends than weekdays; check the specific day's timetable rather than assuming it is the same every day.
- Onboard food prices are higher than onshore – if you are on a budget, bring sandwiches, fruit, and water from a supermarket before you board.
- On very small short-hop ferries, bicycles are usually carried for a small fee – a great way to explore an island in a single day.
