Poros
A balcony over the Peloponnese
Separated from the Peloponnese by a narrow strait, Poros feels like a film set: white houses tiered on the hillside, a clock tower watching over the harbour, lemon groves perfuming the hinterland. An island where you feel at home from the very first glance.

What makes Poros unique
The clock tower, perched at the top of the town, offers a sweeping panorama over the strait, the tiled rooftops and the mountains of the Peloponnese beyond. The climb is gentle, rewarded by a sunset you savour without any rush. Below, the harbour lanes are filled with small tables where you enjoy grilled fish facing the sailboats dancing at anchor.
Inland, the lemon grove of Lemonodassos is an enchanted walk: thousands of trees laden with fruit, an intoxicating fragrance, birdsong for sole company. Nearby, the ruins of the sanctuary of Poseidon are a reminder that this small island played a role even in antiquity. Poros captivates with its relaxed atmosphere, its human scale and its proximity to the Peloponnese, which opens the door to a thousand excursions.
