Poros (Saronic Islands) Guide

Poros (Saronic Islands) Ferry Port

Poros is situated in the southern region of the Saronic Gulf. The port is used to connect the Greek island with neighbouring islands belonging to Greece, including popular crossings to and from Kyllini and Piraeus that typically last between one and two hours.

What is there to do in Poros?

Poros’ appeal lies in its location; a short boat ride away from major tourist destinations such as Piraeus and Mykonos, as well as it’s close proximity to Athens, makes it the perfect base for anyone planning a trip around Greece. The island has all the colour and vigour of Athens, except it exudes an aura of tranquillity, emanating from the calm, quiet beaches that decorate the coastline. Most visitors are only there for the day, though labelling Poros as a day-trip island would be doing it a disservice; the charm, food and atmosphere tempt many into staying for an extra day or two. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing holiday on the beach, partaking in some watersports or embarking on a day of sightseeing, Poros adheres to tourists from every walk of life. Walk around the Town Centre’s amphitheatre landscape in the afternoon to bask in the idyllic surroundings and alluring architecture, before stopping to sample some of the delicious local cuisine in the evening. The beaches remain relatively quiet throughout the year, though in summer, Askeli Beach is popular for anyone who fancies their hand on a jet ski. Love Bay beach is perhaps the better option for sunbathing, though its small size can create congestion in prime holiday season.

How do you get around Poros?

Cars are generally not advised in Poros, though buses run from the port to popular areas and taxis are readily available throughout the day. Alternatively, it is more than possible to cover most of it by foot.


Ermioni Guide

Ermioni Ferry Port

With a shoreline of pebbled beaches lining a narrow inlet of the electric blue waters of the warm Aegean Sea, the small seaside town of Ermioni is an undoubted gem studding the south-eastern coast of Greece. Found on the historic Argolid Peninsula, site of one of the first major settlements in the classical era of Greece, Ermioni is surrounded on three-sides by hilly Mediterranean scrubland and groves of blossoming olive trees. Extending from the east of town is a narrow promontory tipped by the lush pine forest of Bisti Grove (‘Bisti,’ appropriately meaning ‘tail’ in Greek). Though small, this stretch of land is steeped in history, evident in the Venetian walls that line the coast and the ancient vestiges of a temple built to worship the deity Poseidon found near the entrance to the grove. The port of Ermioni is a quaint marina formed of two piers that project into the Aegean Sea. Ferries entering the harbour dock at a designated section of the larger pier, just beside a small undercover waiting terminal. There are no facilities in the terminal itself, though the promenade that runs perpendicular to the pier is crammed with restaurants, cafes and a few shops selling refreshments. Ermioni is a rural town with very few transport links. The town consists mainly of labyrinthine residential streets and as such does not have a local bus service or train station, though a bus does run from Athens airport to the nearby village of Kranidi. Driving to the port can prove difficult too, with just two twisting roads leading in and out of town and the nearest major motorway over 60-miles away. Only one route currently operates from the port. A Hellenic Seaways service sails around the Argolid Peninsula before heading north along the Mediterranean to the port of Piraeus; a major port city just 5-miles from the capital of Athens. It’s a relatively short trip that leaves Ermioni a number of times each day.
