Lush vegetation, beautiful small beaches, a picturesque capital town, and a vintage aura make this island a unique place to visit during your holidays in Greece!
The first thing that will stand out to you as you approach its port by ferry, is the charming Poros Town with its signature landmark, the Clock Tower.
Built on a hillside, the Town is very quaint and emits an aura of elegance, like all capital towns of the Saronic Islands.
It is the center of the island’s activity, as the array of traditional taverns and restaurants along its promenade become lively when the sun goes down!
Moving on to the island's beaches, their main asset is not their quantity, but quality! Surrounded by lush vegetation, the sandy bays are easy to reach from the Town, either by car and bus or by little boats departing frequently from the port. Askeli, Love Bay and Neorio are the most popular organized beaches, while you can also find more secluded seashores to enjoy your privacy along the island’s coastline!
Poros is ideal for relaxing holidays in a tranquil environment, while its proximity to islands such as Aegina, Agistri, and Spetses makes it the perfect base for island hopping!
