About this experience

Instead of just transferring you to Piraeus Port to catch the ferry, you will have the chance to kick back and enjoy the drive along the Saronic Gulf to the edge of Argolic region. We will catch the ferry to picturesque Poros from the port of Galata.

A small island and a popular weekend destination, POROS is relaxing for family vacations. The picturesque town with local fish tavernas, restaurants, cafes and bars provides lounge ambience.

The green pine trees and crystal waters gives you a valuable sense of mind and body relaxation!

You will be captivated by the historical Monastery of Zoodohos Pighi, the incredible Temple of Apollo and Love Bay!

The Archaeological Museum of Poros is located at the Korizi square. It was created thanks to a pioneer devotee of archaeology, who carried out by himself the hard work of preserving the ancient findings of Trizinia, Christos Fourniades. Fourniades started to collect, by his own initiative, the scattered ancient findings of the area and gather them at the Municipal Office of Poros. In 1958 Fourniades, supported by the Municipal Council of Poros, had already proceeded with the foundation of an Archaeological Collection on the island.

It used to be the center of the Kalaureian amphictyony that functioned as a voluntary co-operative for dealing with religious as well as civic issues for city-states including Epidauros, Prassies, Hermione, Aigina, Athens, and Orhomenos. It is believed to date back to the year 520 BC.
