Poros is a small island in the Saronic Gulf, 1 hr by hydrofoil from Piraeus. It is considered one of the most lovely islands in the Saronic. Poros is the perfect place for a quiet and most relaxing holiday. Poros consists of two volcanic islands, Sferia, a small rocky island where the town is located, and Kalavria, a larger and more lush island, with green hills and a nice coastline. Here you will find all the beaches and most of the hotels. The two islands are connected by a bridge.

Galatas is located on the mainland, about 300 metres from Poros. Crossing to the mainland is easily done by the dozens of taxiboats transporting people from Poros to Galatas all day long. It is here you will find the genuine Greece. Everything is a little cheaper in Galatas. Here you find banks, shops, tavernas and hotels. Here you also can rent a car. Galatas is therefore perfect to start excursions to the Argolin peninsula from. With the new road to Korinth it only takes about 30 minutes to reach one of the ancient Greece's greatest sights: amphitheatre Epidauros. It is easy to reach other sights, like the ruins of the old city of Troizina, Korinth, Mycenae, Olympia and other ancient sites. There are a couple of good beaches outside Galatas.
