Private Jet Porto Heli to Capri

Porto Heli Airport and, further afield, Kalamata International Airport both serve as practical departure points for the roughly 461-nautical-mile flight to Capri, a short sector comfortably handled by a very light jet such as the Embraer Phenom 100, which cruises at altitudes in the high thirties of thousand feet and covers the distance in around ninety minutes before the concluding helicopter transfer into Capri Heliport. The modest flight time makes Capri a realistic day trip from the Argolic coast, a genuine rarity given the distance normally separating the Peloponnese from the Bay of Naples. Capri, the destination, rewards even a short visit with its Gardens of Augustus, terraced above the sea and offering some of the island’s finest views down the switchback path of Via Krupp to Marina Piccola below. The island’s limoncello, made from the thick-skinned lemons grown on its steep terraces, remains one of its most enduring exports, and a glass of it is a fixture of most lunches on the island. The final approach by helicopter into Capri Heliport gives arriving guests a striking first look at the cliffs and coves that have drawn visitors here for two thousand years. This route suits Peloponnese-based travellers seeking a short, memorable private escape to Capri. For guests staying around the Argolic Gulf, the short hop across to Capri makes a memorable addition to a longer Greek itinerary, and the return leg in the late afternoon light over the Tyrrhenian and Ionian seas is often remembered as highlight of the whole trip.
