The island’s proximity to Athens and northeastern Peloponnese makes Poros popular for short, refreshing trips or weekend getaways. The best time to book your ferry tickets to Poros depends on when you plan to visit:

Summer months (June-September): during summer, demand for ferries to Poros is high, and although there are frequent routes, we advise you to book your tickets as early as possible (even a month before your trip), especially if you want to enjoy a wonderful summer weekend on Poros.

Other months: the rest of the year, there is greater availability for ferries to Poros. Therefore, you can book a ticket even a few days or a day before your trip. However, keep in mind that demand may be higher during public holidays and weekends.

Poros is rightfully one of the most beloved destinations in the Argosaronic Gulf, as it immediately wins you over with its beautiful, easily accessible beaches, which emerge from pine trees, and its imposing architectural character. In Poros, you can enjoy swimming and water sports, take in its lush nature, and experience the island’s vibrant atmosphere, especially during the summer.

Poros is formed by two smaller islands, Sfairia and Kalavria, which are separated by a narrow canal. Sferia is home to the main village of Poros, built amphitheatrically above the port, with neoclassical buildings and plenty of accommodation and dining options. Kalavria hosts other settlements, such as Neorio and Askeli, as well as most of the island’s beaches, with the Russian Naval Station and Love Bay being among the most photographed spots.

Want your trip and visit to Poros to be truly unforgettable? Just follow a few simple tips:

• Since many of the routes to and from Poros are operated by catamarans that do not have a car deck, if you want to travel with your car or motorbike, we recommend checking Ferryhopper to find a conventional ferry route that suits you. If you are traveling with your vehicle, especially in the summer, we advise you to book tickets as early as possible due to high demand.
• If you choose to travel without a car, we have good news: Poros has buses, taxis, and water taxis to help you get around easily, and many distances are short enough to walk.
• If you want to be where the action is, we recommend staying in the main village of Poros. Alternatively, you can choose one of the island’s smaller settlements for quieter and more relaxing accommodation options.
• Poros is ideal for island hopping in the Argosaronic Gulf and excursions to the Peloponnese. Its location allows you to reach destinations such as the famous thermal baths of Methana or the aristocratic Hydra in a really short time.

Due to the short duration of the trip, the ferries traveling to and from Poros do not have cabins. You will find standard airplane-style seats on the catamarans to Poros, while conventional ferries offer deck-lounge seating.

Both conventional ferries and catamarans have snack bars, special facilities for passengers with disabilities, and pet areas. Wi-Fi connection is available on selected routes.

You can transport your car or motorbike on conventional ferries traveling to Poros, but not on catamarans. The cost of vehicle tickets depends on the departure port and the ferry company. For example, car tickets start at around €35 on the Piraeus-Poros route.

The port of Poros is located in the heart of the island’s main village, built on the Sferia's islet. As soon as you disembark from the ferry, you will have immediate access to tavernas and restaurants, cafés, shops, and accommodation options.

The port of Poros connects the island with Attica via Piraeus, with Methana, Porto Heli, and Ermioni in the Peloponnese, as well as with other Argosaronic Gulf islands, such as Agistri, Spetses, and Hydra.
