The Greek island of Poros is a hidden gem in the Saronic Gulf, offering the perfect blend of charm, history, and natural beauty. Just a short ferry ride from Athens, this lush, pine-covered island is ideal for those seeking a peaceful yet vibrant getaway. Stroll through the picturesque streets of Poros Town, where neoclassical architecture and traditional tavernas create an inviting atmosphere. Explore hidden coves with crystal-clear waters, perfect for swimming and snorkeling, or rent a boat to discover secluded beaches along the coastline. For history lovers, the ruins of the ancient Temple of Poseidon provide a glimpse into Greece’s rich past. Whether you’re sipping Greek coffee at a waterfront café, watching the sunset from the iconic clock tower, or enjoying fresh seafood by the harbor, Poros offers an authentic Greek island experience without the crowds.
Getting to Poros is easy from anywhere in Europe. Fly into Athens International Airport (ATH), which is well-connected to major European cities with direct flights. From there, take a short taxi or bus ride to Piraeus Port, where ferries and hydrofoils depart regularly for Poros. The journey by high-speed ferry takes about an hour, while a regular ferry offers a more leisurely two-hour trip with stunning views of the Saronic Gulf. If you prefer a scenic road trip, you can drive or take a bus from Athens to Galatas, a small coastal town opposite Poros, and cross over on a quick 5-minute boat ride. Whether you choose speed or a more relaxed pace, reaching Poros is part of the adventure, setting the tone for an unforgettable Greek island escape.
