Porto Ch\u00e9li<\/strong> is a very beautiful and well known resort that attracts many yachts, mainly because of its natural beauty and the protection it offers against all winds. In addition, the larger area is one of the Athenian\u2019s favourites – which explains the many summerhouses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One might say that Porto Ch\u00e9li is writing its history now! Because prior to 1970, when the touristic attention began, Porto Ch\u00e9li was a very small settlement which was scarcely reported in the historic sources, with one exception: Antiquity!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is always a good story to be told about Hellas, as long as there is a \u201cBC\u201d at the end of its date. So, around 700 BC, the small settlement of Alie\u00eds<\/strong> was here and its inhabitants lived from the fishing and the processing of the Tyrian purple, in cooperation with Ermi\u00f3ni. After the destruction of T\u00fdrintha by \u00c1rgos in 465 BC, many Tyrinthian refugees came here to settle. They upgraded the settlement to a city, they fortified the surrounding area (ruins of the citadel and the walls can be found even today on the hill to the east of Porto Ch\u00e9li). On the south end of the beach next to the harbour, remnants of the sunken city can still be found in shallow depths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city of Alie\u00eds was destroyed in 280 BC and the area was never again inhabited.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
