Pastel-hued houses clamour up the hillside of the idyllic island of Poros, south of the Saronic Gulf and an hour away from Athens, Greece. Overlooking the vast Aegean sea at the island’s peak is the capital of Poros Town, a picturesque village that boasts grand traditional mansions and charming cobbled streets that bustle with smart hotels, shops, cafes, restaurants, and tavernas. The island is famous for its pristine beaches, Love Bay and Askeli being the most favoured for a swim in the crystalline waters. Stroll through the verdant Lemon Forests and enjoy the cool shade of over 30 000 lemon and orange trees. Other points of interest include the Temple of Poseidon, the Archaeological Museum of Poros, the Holy Monastery of Zoodochos Pigi and the old Clock Tower.
