Ferry from Aegina to Poros

Aegina to Poros takes about an hour and twenty minutes on the Saronic Ferries conventional boats, the Apollon Hellas, Phivos and Poseidonas. It runs as part of the longer Piraeus to Poros, Hydra and Spetses service, usually calling at Methana on the way. Vehicles are carried, and the ride is an easy one in normal summer conditions.

Poros sits close in against the Peloponnese coast, separated from the mainland town of Galatas by a strait barely wider than a river. The harbour town rises up a hillside in tiers of neoclassical houses, topped by the clock tower that is visible from the water long before you dock. It is an easy place to spend a day, and a tiny shuttle boat crosses to Galatas constantly if you want to reach the mainland.

The route runs about once a day, with more sailings in high summer. Current timings and fares are listed below, with tickets starting around €11. From Poros the same line continues to Hydra and Spetses, so it is a natural first leg of a Saronic island-hopping run.

Hiring a car

Do you need a car on Poros?

Not really. Poros is small, about 7 by 4 miles, and cars are banned from the tiny town centre in summer, so everyone parks near the port and walks. Scooters are cheap and cover the rest of the island easily, and small boats run constantly from the port to the beaches. Car hire does exist if you'd rather have four wheels; check current listings at Discover Cars.

Do you need a car on Aegina?

Not really. Aegina is a popular day trip from Piraeus, and frequent buses run from the port in Aegina Town to Agia Marina, Perdika and the Temple of Aphaia, though services thin out to around five a day. Aegina Town itself is easily walkable. A car, moped or bicycle, hired from offices behind the waterfront, suits those staying longer or covering the island in one day; compare rates at Discover Cars.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Aegina to Poros ferry

• Quick-dry travel towels pack much smaller than conventional towels and are worth the investment if you are covering multiple islands.
• Onboard announcements are made in Greek first and English second; if you miss the English version, ask a fellow passenger what was said.
• In Poros, the clock tower rising above the harbour has been the island's landmark since 1927, and the seafront promenade lined with yachts, neoclassical buildings, and fish tavernas makes for a very pleasant stroll. The ruins of an ancient Temple of Poseidon lie inland, and just across the narrow strait on the Peloponnese shore is one of Greece's most celebrated lemon forests.
