Arriving in Poros

Poros may be the Saronic Gulf's most underrated escape, a green, pine-scented island separated from the Peloponnesian town of Galatas by a strait so narrow you could almost swim it, with small boats shuttling across constantly. Frequent ferries and fast boats from Piraeus make getting there simple, and the arrival is memorable: whitewashed Poros Town climbs a hillside crowned by its landmark clock tower, with sailboats moored two and three deep along the quay. This is one of Greece's great sailing hubs, and the waterfront buzzes with crews on summer evenings. Days here drift between swims at Love Bay and Russian Bay, strolls through flower-draped lanes, and a boat hop across to Lemonodasos, a fragrant lemon grove on the mainland shore. Easygoing and close to Athens, Poros charms quietly.

Ferries and fast boats dock right on the waterfront promenade of Poros Town, steps from cafes, tavernas and hotels. The harbour sits inside the sheltered strait facing Galatas on the Peloponnese, and tiny passenger boats cross between the two shores continuously from morning until late. It is one of the easiest and most walkable ferry arrivals anywhere in Greece.
