A few minutes from Porto Heli can be found the town of Ermioni, a picturesque place that brings the Greek islands to mind and warmly embraces the visitor with its impressive architecture and its relaxed pace. The beaches of Ermioni, the sights and the natural beauty make the town ideal for a quick trip, especially if you are at Argolida on your vacation.
Whether you take a walk at the port of Ermioni or drink coffee and have lunch in one of its cafes and restaurants with the magnificent views, the sea breeze as well as the peace and quiet will win you over immediately. If you wish to swim there are various beaches at Ermioni to choose from: Kouverta, Maderi, Petrothalassa and finally Bisti, that borders a wonderful pine forest. Wooded areas and impressive natural formations are quite prominent in the region. Go to Katafyki, a gorge a bit outside Ermioni, Fragthi cave and Thermisia lake.
A beautiful time to visit Ermioni is Easter. During Easter Sunday the Burning of Judas takes place in the port. The locals burn an effigy of Judas, made of flammable materials. The spectacle is breathtaking, since many boats that come from other little ports around Ermioni participate with torches.
Ermioni has been inhabited since the ancient times because of its excellent position and its climate. Being really close to other beautiful cities in Argolida, like Porto Heli and Nafplio, it is ideal for a quick trip for a meal, a drink or a swim.
