Poros is one of the most charming of the Saronic Islands, a green and pretty isle separated from the Peloponnese by a narrow, picturesque strait. Cloaked in fragrant pine and crowned by a landmark clock tower, it offers a delightful and convenient cruising destination close to Athens.
The island’s main town rises in tiers of white and pastel houses above a lively waterfront, its iconic clock tower looking out over the busy channel. The setting, with the mountains of the Peloponnese rising just across the water, is one of the prettiest in the Saronic Gulf.
Poros is blessed with clear water, quiet coves and pine-fringed beaches, along with a beautiful protected bay that offers superb sheltered anchoring. The narrow strait and surrounding waters make for gentle, scenic cruising, while the neighbouring islands of Hydra and Aegina lie within easy reach.
Ashore, the island offers a lively waterfront of tavernas and cafes, along with a peaceful, pine-scented interior perfect for walking. Its blend of charm, greenery and convenience makes it a favourite stop.
With its picturesque harbour, clear water and pine-clad beauty, Poros is a delightful Saronic gem. Guests can anchor in its sheltered bay, swim in quiet coves and enjoy the gentle charm of this beautiful island near Athens.
