Description

Leave the city behind and discover the island magic of Poros on a full-day escape from Athens. Nestled in the Saronic Gulf, Poros is known for its pine forests, neoclassical harbor, and laid-back charm—ideal for travelers seeking a mix of nature, swimming, and local flavor. Your journey begins with a scenic drive through southern Greece’s coastal roads and gentle hills. Along the way, enjoy views of olive groves, sea cliffs, and sleepy villages before arriving at Galatas port. From there, a short sea taxi ride takes you across the shimmering water to Poros Town, with its red-tiled rooftops, blue domes, and signature clock tower. Start the day with a guided walking tour of Poros, learning about its maritime past, local traditions, and ancient roots. Wander charming alleys, browse artisanal shops, and take in views of the harbor where sailboats sway in the sun. Next, we visit Love Bay—one of the island’s most iconic beaches, known for its turquoise waters and shady pine trees. Spend time swimming, relaxing, or enjoying a fresh seafood lunch at a seaside taverna. Love Bay is a peaceful retreat that perfectly captures the Greek island spirit. Feeling active? Rent a bike and explore further, discovering coastal paths, small coves, and viewpoints with endless sea vistas. Whether by foot, bike, or sea taxi, Poros is easy to explore and full of surprises. In the afternoon, return to Poros Town for a final coffee or souvenir stroll before heading back to Galatas and then Athens. This relaxing day combines natural beauty, island life, and Greek hospitality—all just a short trip from the capital.
