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.
Its proximity to Athens has promoted Aegina to popularity amongst holidaymakers; the island’s compact nature drenched in historical landmarks is the perfect place to escape the relative busyness of Greece’s capital city for a few days, especially if you have a penchant for striking architecture and fascinating museums. Markellos Tower and the Temple of Aphea Athena are two of the standout edifices, wowing visitors with the imposing designs, and St Nektarios Monastery is also a frequently visited monument due to its location near the beaches. The secluded pebbly beach in Perdika is a picturesque haven of tranquillity whilst Ayia Marina Beach is situated next to a stretch of hotels, bars and restaurants for a livelier scene. Though much of Aegina’s tourism can be related back to its more prominent neighbour, it would be unfair to suggest that the entirety of visitors are just passing through; rows of beautifully colourful houses line narrow streets that lead to a charming square of cafes or eateries, sewn together by a string of locals walking between establishments or enjoying the ambience on a horse and carriage. You may only be there for a day or two, but soak up the welcoming atmosphere and settle into sleepy Aegina for Greece at its rustic best.
The towns are walkable and only require a short stroll to traverse along the attractions.
