Poros is a little island just an hour away from Athens. It is a popular destination for day trips and weekend getaways from the capital of Greece. Because of its proximity to Athens, its small size and its beautiful natural landscape, Poros gets pretty busy during summer, without losing its unspoiled charm.
The island’s center of activities is Poros Town, the main village of Poros. The first thing you’ll notice as the boat enters the port is the elegant Neoclassical houses and the Clock Tower, on a hill above the port, which offers a great view over the region. The waterfront of Poros Town is the busiest of all spots. It is lined by private yachts, fishing boats, seaside cafeterias, and small gift shops. Buses depart from Poros Port to many beautiful beaches and resorts around Poros.
Isthmus of Corinth, a narrow neck of land connecting the Peloponnese to mainland Greece and separating the Corinthian Gulf from the Saronic Gulf, and finally the Ionian Sea from the Aegean Sea.
