The first thing that will stand out to you as you approach its port by ferry, is the charming Poros Town with its signature landmark, the Clock Tower.

Surrounded by lush vegetation, the sandy bays are easy to reach from the Town, either by car and bus or by little boats departing frequently from the port.
