Information on Poros Island

Poros Island

Poros Island is situated in the Saronic Gulf and lies close to the Peloponnesian mainland. This once busy tourist destination has declined in popularity with the cheap package tour operators due to the direct routes now available for flights to the regional airports. This in turn has allowed Poros island to return to its original typical Greek island way of life, where the tourist and visitor is again welcomed with open arms to join the islanders' relaxed and tranquil way of life.

What makes Poros so different from other Greek islands is the lush native Pine Forest which still covers much of the island; the other islands by comparison are baron wildernesses. Also due to it's location visitors to island are not limited to endless days on the beach. Many tours visit the world renowned ancient sites of Epidavros, Mycenae, Argos, Nafplio and Olympia which are all available as easy day trips from the island visit day trips from Poros Island. Athens, the capital of Greece with its modern and ancient attractions is also easily reached as a day trip from Poros Island. If that is not enough you can also do your bit of island hopping and visit the islands of Hydra, Spetses and Aegina.

Poros Island is serviced by both sea and road routes from Athens. By sea (from the port of Piraeus you can reach the island in little over an hour using the fast flying dolphin & catamaran services, alternatively driving from Athens to the coastal town of Galatas (where car ferries service the island every 30 minutes) can be achieved in 2 1/2 hours.
