✨ Short Description
Take a day trip from Nafplio to the picturesque island of Poros. Explore charming streets, swim in crystal-clear waters, and soak up the authentic island atmosphere.

📝 Full Description

Leave the historic town of Nafplio and set off on a relaxing full-day escape to the serene island of Poros, nestled in the Saronic Gulf. Known for its pine-covered hills, neoclassical harbor, and laid-back pace, Poros is perfect for travelers seeking natural beauty, culture, and authentic island life.

Your day begins with a scenic coach ride through olive groves, mountain views, and coastal villages before arriving at the small port of Galatas. From there, hop on a water taxi for a short but scenic crossing to Poros Town.

Upon arrival, enjoy a guided walking tour through the island’s elegant neoclassical quarter. Discover Poros’s maritime history, stroll down charming stone alleys, pass by traditional shops and cafés, and admire the island’s famous landmark—the clock tower perched above the harbor.

After the tour, spend free time swimming in turquoise waters, relaxing on a quiet beach, or enjoying lunch at a seaside taverna with fresh local ingredients and a calming view of the sea.

Poros is compact and walkable, but adventurous visitors may rent a bike or explore further via sea taxi. Whether you dive into hidden coves, take a seaside stroll, or sip coffee by the harbor, the choice is yours.

As the day winds down, return by water taxi to Galatas and travel back to Nafplio by coach—recharged, sun-kissed, and filled with island memories. This easy-going tour is the perfect island getaway just a short journey from the mainland.
