Kefalonia, Greece – June 28, 2025 The Ionian island of Kefalonia saw a rare display of maritime luxury today, as four superyachts—each owned by high-profile billionaires—were spotted anchored off on the east side of the island. Among them were M/Y BARAKA, M/Y ACHILLES, M/Y OURANOS, and M/Y SEA PEARL, drawing the attention of both yacht enthusiasts and curious onlookers alike. The quiet luxury of Kefalonia has increasingly positioned it as a favored destination among the world’s elite, offering a more discreet alternative to the high-energy scenes of Mykonos or the French Riviera. Today’s impressive lineup is a testament to that trend.

Tucked along the eastern Peloponnesian coast, just a stone’s throw from the jet-set island of Spetses, Porto Cheli (or Porto Heli) is one of Greece’s best-kept summer secrets. Long favored by Greek high society and European aristocracy, this coastal gem has all the understated elegance of the French Riviera—but with olive groves instead of vineyards, and yachts bobbing beside quaint fishing boats in the harbor. Now, it’s time the rest of the world discovered its charm. At Éole Yachting, we’re proud to include Porto Cheli in our all-inclusive travel destination packages, combining luxury sailing, curated gastronomy, boutique stays, and private island experiences. Whether you're stepping off a private yacht, arriving by helicopter, or winding down scenic roads from Athens (a 2.5-hour coastal drive), Porto Cheli welcomes you with sun-drenched serenity and a dash of Aegean mystique.
