Private Jet Beverly to Porto Heli

Beverly Regional Airport, north of Boston, is the departure point for this approximately 4,110-nautical-mile route to Porto Heli, a sector generally flown in about eight hours aboard a heavy-cabin jet well matched to the crossing and its overall length and duration each way. The Gulfstream G550 and Bombardier Global 6000 both suit the distance comfortably, cruising near 45,000 feet with fuel reserves well beyond what the crossing requires, keeping the ride notably steady across the Atlantic and into southern Europe regardless of season or time of year chosen for the trip and its return leg. Beverly’s airport, serving Boston’s North Shore, offers relaxed and efficient handling for private departures of this scale without the congestion of Boston Logan further south along the coast and its considerably busier runways and schedules to work around. Arrival in the Argolic Gulf brings travellers within easy reach of Hydra, an island once home to the poet and songwriter Leonard Cohen, who lived in a house above the harbour for stretches of the 1960s, drawn like generations of writers and painters before him to the island’s whitewashed lanes and absence of traffic altogether and its enduring, unhurried quiet charm. Closer to Porto Heli, the harbour’s own pine-backed coves continue to draw the region’s charter yacht fleet each summer season without fail or exception whatsoever, year after year. This route suits Boston-area travellers looking for a European coastal escape with genuine literary and artistic pedigree, trading the North Shore for the whitewashed lanes and sheltered anchorages of the Greek Peloponnese for a longer stay ashore this time around.
