Poros is one of the closest islands to Athens and a smart choice to escape a couple of days from the city centre. Idyllic beaches, lush vegetation and low hills are some of the things that complete the beauty of this small Saronic Island. In just 3km from the town is Askeli beach with beach bars... More >
Full four days plan

It is the second time I visit Poros. I really liked the island the first time and the thing is I couldn't stay for many days, so I decided to came again and enjoy more of the place. We stayed in the same room because we were very satisfied with the service. My only complain was that I didn't get to... More >
Everytime I come to Athens on work, I have made it a point to visit Poros. As much as I like Athens, especially after the Olympic Games which has dramatically transformed Athens into a lovely city and east to move, I am not much of a city dweller, and the fact that Poros is about an hour's journey...

This is a nice island to go if you have only a few days. I was in Athens last October for a conference and I was crazy to go to a Greek island, so Poros (only an hour from Athens) seemed great for my two free days! I liked that people were still swimming in late October. Hotels seemed to close one... More >
Ban cars from the port

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,... More >
I've been to Poros several times and I think it is a wonderful place to spend your summer. Very close to Athens, offers wonderful landscapes, full of trees and various beaches. Indeed, few Greek islands are so green and unspoilt. And I most like Poros port in the evenings, with all these yachts and... More >
Have low expectations

I think the only positive thing about Poros is that it is very close to Athens (only 1 hour by hydrofoil) and that it has good transport between the town and the near beaches. Otherwise, I didn't feel any special or traditional vibe there. In August, it was very busy and far less traditional that I... More >
Only for swimming

Do not lose more than 3-4 days on Poros. There is nothing to do other than swimming. The good thing is that distances can be covered on foot, so you will not need taxis or buses or car rentals, except maybe for a few beaches. The only proper beaches on Poros are Askeli and Kanali. Not far from the... More >
Hi, I'm Rae and I'm from Oxford. Poros was the first Greek island my wife and I visited, back in 1999. Since then, we have stayed there in 2000, 2002 and 2007, as well as visiting for a day in 2003 (when staying in Athens). A hectic night-life is not our first priority (I'll be 60 in August!) so...

No big nightlife

Poros is a quiet and cosy island. Perfect if you want a relaxing break with a variety of tavernas but no big nightlife. We only went to one beach, Askeli - it was ok, not spectacular but we were mainly there for the swimming pool. It was nice to see lots of greenery in the... More >
