Neilson The Nautica Bay Beachclub, Peloponnese, Greece
Porto Heli stretches around the head of a large bay at the tip of the Argolic Peninsula, opposite the island of Spetses. A pine-covered headland almost encloses the bay and creates a large, natural, safe sailing area, beyond which are attractive pine-fringed coves, quiet sandy beaches and waterside tavernas that can all be explored by mountain bike or dinghy.
As Porto Heli is Neilson's designated high performance dinghy sailing centre, they include in your holiday price a full range of RYA courses and tuition taking you from the basics to Sailing with Spinnakers, Racing and Performance Sailing.
The bay and area just beyond provides the perfect conditions and space to race and improve your technique and skills on their excellent range of high perfomance and asymmetric dinghies.
The beach is across the road from the Nautica Bay Beahclub.
The spacious hotel grounds and extensive facilities offer plenty of independence for youngsters of all ages who will quickly make new friends. Evening entertainment is mainly centred around the hotel bar and roof top taverna. For party animals, there are a couple of nightclubs and late bars in and around Porto Heli village.
