Poros’ appeal lies in its location; a short boat ride away from major tourist destinations such as Piraeus and Mykonos, as well as it’s close proximity to Athens, makes it the perfect base for anyone planning a trip around Greece. The island has all the colour and vigour of Athens, except it exudes an aura of tranquillity, emanating from the calm, quiet beaches that decorate the coastline. Most visitors are only there for the day, though labelling Poros as a day-trip island would be doing it a disservice; the charm, food and atmosphere tempt many into staying for an extra day or two. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing holiday on the beach, partaking in some watersports or embarking on a day of sightseeing, Poros adheres to tourists from every walk of life. Walk around the Town Centre’s amphitheatre landscape in the afternoon to bask in the idyllic surroundings and alluring architecture, before stopping to sample some of the delicious local cuisine in the evening. The beaches remain relatively quiet throughout the year, though in summer, Askeli Beach is popular for anyone who fancies their hand on a jet ski. Love Bay beach is perhaps the better option for sunbathing, though its small size can create congestion in prime holiday season.
Cars are generally not advised in Poros, though buses run from the port to popular areas and taxis are readily available throughout the day. Alternatively, it is more than possible to cover most of it by foot.
Spetses was almost cursed by its beauty; wonderful aesthetics formed by a myriad of colour from the houses and the striking impression left from the glorious landscape make it just too alluring to remain off the beaten track of tourism. Over the years it has transformed into a mecca of stylish shops and elegant boutiques for day-trippers from Athens, basking in the lavish surroundings and overwhelming the island in a sea of wealth and luxury. However, the swanky and extravagant image shouldn’t put off anyone from visiting; each summer Spetses open its arms, as well as its endless tavernas and bars, to holidaymakers from all across Europe. Ayia Paraskevi Beach is perhaps the highlight of the island, attracting many with the azure blue water next to verdant mountainside. Head a bit further along the shore and discover the Bekiri Cave – one of many that adorn the coast. A day of sightseeing, sunbathing and shopping can prove an exhausting combination, especially considering the plethora of vintage stores and picturesque beaches. To refresh yourself after an action packed day under the Mediterranean Sun, Spetses’ nightlife is the perfect cocktail of energy amid a laid back atmosphere. Cocktail bars offer the most invigorating experience when night falls on the magical island, and for a more tranquil experience, just sit with friends and family in one of the restaurants around the quaint harbourside.
Private cars are banned on the island, so many choose to travel by rental motorcycles. Walking is also another viable option, and public transport is reliable, though can be fairly expensive.
