Overview

Poros is only 2 hours and 30 minutes from Athens. It’s a place of great beauty!As you stroll along the streets you will be impressed by the neoclassical style of most buildings. The clock tower of Poros is the island’s landmark, located on the hilltop, and surrounded by prickly pear trees and pine trees. This spot offers an amazing view of the harbour, the opposite shores of the Peloponnese, and the Lemon tree forest. The clock stands out, from whichever location you look at it; it is truly the town gem! Start your cultural trip with a visit to the Archaeological Museum on Koryzi Square; you will see finds that date as far back as the Mycenaean Period (circa 1700 - 1100 BC) and up to the Roman times. Poros also is the ideal destination for watersports and activities such as swimming.
