Poros Reviews -General

We went to Poros only for one day as we were travelling around Peloponnese. There are ferries in Galatas Argolida that take you to Poros in less than 5 minutes. Ferries run all the time, when one goes the next comes. Poros seemed to me very busy but lovely! The port was the best part of the island, with all these sailing boats and the small cafes on the row.

All venues had tables on the street and you could see the people going up and down and the sunset. However, it was disturbing to hear the noise of the cars and buses. They spoiled the beauty of these moments. I think cars should be banned to enter the portside. Only buses and taxis should be allowed just to serve the people. If you do that, the place will look much more traditional.

Near the port there was an open cinema and we watched movies under the stars. So romantic! This is an experience we can't enjoy back home. From the beaches of Poros, I mostly enjoyed Askeli. Although it was always crowded, you could still find room because the beach is so large. It also has the taverns with the best view. I suggest you find a hotel there, I think this is the only beach in Poros that has hotels.

The Love Bay was also adorable but there were too much people in a very small bay. There are buses to Askleli and the Monastery all the time. Or otherwise, try motorbikes. We had car but ended up leaving it at the hotel. It was too difficult to find a parking seat and the roads were very narrow.
