It is a cosmopolitan, picturesque island with a vibrant nightlife, great beaches and many small sights.
Poros, auch als "Bosporus des Saronischen Golfs" bekannt, besteht eigentlich aus zwei Inseln, die in der Antike Sphería und Kalávria genannt wurden. Während des letzten Ausbruchs des Vulkans Méthana auf dem nahen griechischen Festland änderte sich die Morphologie des Gebietes stark und brachte die Inseln näher. Sie sind nun durch eine Brücke über einen schmalen Kanal verbunden. Spheria liegt am Krater des Vulkans, wo sich die schöne Stadt Poros entfaltet.
The historic, colourful, neoclassical buildings give the island an aura of incomparable beauty. Blessed with lush nature, from green pine forests to idyllic beaches, Poros is a wonderful island.
Why charter from Poros? It's only a little more travel time. But you are away from the overcrowded marinas of Athens. Supermarket shopping is relaxed and prices are fair. The trip starts with a highlight. The boat handover is personal and not a mass process. Slowing down in nice cafés and bars right around the boat - and the restaurants also set the standard for the next days. Before the sun goes down, there is also a short detour for swimming at the beach. Yes, and in the high season you are already at least half a day's sailing ahead of the other charter boats.

Life on the island
The island combines a peaceful landscape with lively nightlife venues. The main town has pretty alleyways, traditional houses with blooming gardens and a view of the sea, before the pretty alleyways lead upwards. In the winding lanes you will find many small souvenir shops, some galleries and of course typical Greek tavernas.
A popular sight is the former Russian naval base, which is considered a monument because of its architectural uniqueness. It also lends its name to the stretch of beach known as Russian Bay.
The beaches of Poros
Although Poros is a relatively small island, there are many beaches, most of which lie on the south coast and are within walking distance from the main harbour. One of these beaches is the sandy beach of Kanali, where you can find a good selection of fish tavernas with great views. Monastiri is another sandy beach, located on the east of the island, ideal for water sports and spearfishing. On the northern part of the island there is a quieter sand and pebble beach called Bagionia. Mikro Neorio is another beautiful, organised beach surrounded by pine trees. Limanaki-tis-Agapis, which means 'Cove of Love', is a romantic beach with crystal clear green-blue water, surrounded by pine trees. Another wonderful spot is the beach of Lemonodasos, which means 'Lemon Forest'. The sandy beach is surrounded by countless lemon trees and some water mills.
How to reach the island
Poros can be reached from several locations. Firstly, ferries are offered from Piraeus (the port of Athens) to Aegina, Poros and Hydra - the journey takes one hour. From Athens airport, Poros is easily reachable by car. Via the Corinth Canal and Epidavros, you can be in Galatas in about two and a half hours, and from there take one of the many small boats to the island. We are happy to help you with the planning!
