The benefits of an island with the mainland..........
Poros is the furthest that the landing craft ferries out of Piraeus will take you. It is its proximity to the mainland of the Peloponnese that is its main advantage given that a five minute water taxi will have you into the town of Galatas and a myriad of day excursions are available to places such as Epidavros and Napflion.
Back to the island however. Poros is actually two islands connected by a small bridge. The main island is called Kalavria and is covered with pine and olive trees stretching down to inviting coves and beaches.
The smaller island is Spheria and this is where Poros Town is located. Lively nightspots, cafes, shops and tavernas line the waterfront and create a nice buzz as it heads towards sunset.
One sunset you have to see is from the landmark white clock tower, which overlooks the red-roofed town and green pine trees.
The best beach on the island is Askeli, its got a blue flag and it gently shelves into the sea. It can be reached by taxi, bus or foot if you are feeling energetic.
Please be aware that due to ferry and flight timings, a stay overnight in Athens may be required in either direction.

Happy People
The team have booked three very different holidays for me, two for a couple and one for a group of nine. They listened to our requirements and used their expert knowledge of Greece to provide us with several options from which to choose. I found them to be very professional, nothing is too much trouble and they strive to find a good deal. I would not hesitate to recommend them. The business has booked me a few different holidays ranging from 2 weeks away in the sun to City Breaks. They have a great knowledge and understanding of your needs and requirements when booking a holiday. They always try to accommodate your budget and work extremely hard to get you what you're asking for. They have an extremely good knowledge of the Greek Islands and never fail when recommending specific places. I would always recommend the team as they are helpful and professional at all times. |
Fantastic service. I explained what kind of holiday I was looking for and my budget and they came up with different options to choose from. Nothing was too much trouble and the communication was first class. I would definitely recommend and would not hesitate in using this 5 star service again.
