Private Jet Charlottetown to Porto Heli

Charlottetown to Porto Heli covers about 3,711 nautical miles, a transatlantic sector suited to a heavy jet such as the Gulfstream G550, which comfortably covers the distance without a fuel stop while cruising near 45,000 feet for a smooth, efficient crossing of the North Atlantic and southern Europe. Prince Edward Island Airport serves Charlottetown, the birthplace of Canadian confederation and the capital of the country’s smallest province, a city known for its red sandstone cliffs, rolling farmland, and a laid-back maritime character quite different from Canada’s larger urban centres. On arrival in Greece, guests land at Porto Heli’s own small airport or Kalamata International Airport, both convenient for a resort town on the Argolic Gulf that faces the island of Spetses and sits within easy reach of the ancient theatre of Epidaurus and the Venetian old town of Nafplio. Pine-covered hills and olive groves surround the bay, offering a warmer, more Mediterranean landscape than the red-earth fields of Prince Edward Island, and the area’s calm, sheltered waters have become an increasingly popular summer anchorage for superyachts cruising the eastern Mediterranean. The cabin comfort of a heavy jet, with room to properly rest across a sector of seven hours or more, matters given the distance and time zones involved. This route suits Maritime Canadian travellers with interests in the eastern Mediterranean, offering a direct link between two coastal regions that, despite sharing a strong maritime identity, sit at opposite ends of the climate spectrum from one another. Prince Edward Island’s gentle, pastoral scenery, immortalised in the Anne of Green Gables stories, gives departing guests a distinctly different starting point from the olive-covered hills and Mediterranean pace that greet them on landing in Greece.
