Poros holidays

Nestled in the heart of the Saronic Gulf, Poros is a true hidden gem just an hour by ferry from Athens. With lush greenery, inviting beaches and a charming harbour town, this idyllic island has all the ingredients for a memorable Greek getaway. Down by the shore, sun-blessed sands beckon beachgoers to soak up the sunshine and swim in the water. Over in the town, restaurants, cafés and shops offer a traditional slice of Greece in the form of magical meze platters and refreshing wine. Head to the hillside and you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views that span for miles. Away-from-it-all retreats have never looked better than this...

A traditional town

Make your way to Poros Town for traditional vibes, stunning architecture and great food. Along the waterfront, souvenir shops, cafés and restaurants pepper the streets. So you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to picking somewhere perfect to have a flavour-filled Greek meal or a coffee.

Ancient finds

Although what remains of The Temple of Poseidon is pretty much ruins now, these crumbling columns offer a glimpse into the island’s ancient past. With rolling hills and olive trees, it’s no surprise the Greeks chose this peaceful plot as their place of worship all those years ago.

Lazy days

For beach-lovers, bays like Askeli and Love promise scenic swimming spots, while Poros Town’s got laidback dining and food-filled afternoons covered. While there might not be an A-Z of action-packed activities here, days in Poros are all about enjoying the simple things.
