About this activity

Escape Athens for a full-day private excursion to Poros, a serene Saronic Gulf island where you'll combine scenic coastal drives, ferry crossings, and exploration of whitewashed villages, ancient temples, and Byzantine monasteries. This curated experience goes beyond standard port transfers, weaving together cultural landmarks, natural beauty, and local dining in a single 12-hour journey.

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!
