This will include private villas, a Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course, a Nikki Beach hotel and a Chedi property in Porto Heli itself.
Two hours by car southwest of the Athens airport, Porto Heli is a pretty yachting town that increasingly resembles a Greek version of Saint-Tropez.
Chugach provides every single passenger with a state-of-the-art Mammut avalanche airbag pack, the first US heli operator I know of to do so, at no extra cost.

It counts five lifts and 59 runs (with more of both in the works) and is now the only resort in the world to offer lift, cat-, heli-, and backcountry skiing from the same village.
Its 2.5km-long via ferrata, built in 2007 by Canadian Mountain Holiday (CMH) guides, is part of a heli-hiking excursion only available to guests of the remote Bobbie Burns Lodge, located near the small city of Golden.
