Porto Heli to Poros Route Map
Porto Heli and Poros sit at either end of a quiet stretch of the Argolic and Saronic seas, and the ferry between them is one of the more relaxed crossings you'll find in Greece. Porto Heli is a low-key resort town on the Peloponnese mainland, built around a deep, well-sheltered natural harbour that has long made it a favourite anchorage for yachts as well as ferries. Poros, at the other end, is a compact island squeezed close to the Peloponnesian coast at Galatas, its town rising in tiers above a narrow strait. Because the route hugs the coastline for most of the way rather than heading out into open water, it tends to feel steadier underfoot than crossings that run further offshore, which makes it a comfortable option if you'd rather avoid a choppier ride.
This is very much a once-a-day link rather than a shuttle service, so it suits travellers building a fixed day around it -- heading down to the Peloponnese, or across to the island -- rather than those wanting flexibility to change plans at short notice. Check the schedule box above for the latest confirmed sailing times before you travel, since the single daily departure can shift a little through the season.

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.

Tips for the Porto Heli to Poros ferry
- If you need to change your ticket, it is usually cheaper to do so online than at the port ticket office, where a handling fee may apply.
- Avoid heavy meals immediately before boarding if you are prone to seasickness; a light snack is fine but a full taverna lunch is not ideal.
- Rain gear is rarely needed on summer ferry crossings, but a waterproof layer is worth having in spring and autumn when showers are possible.
- Some ports have a departure tax included in your ticket; others require a separate port fee paid at a booth before boarding – check your booking confirmation.
- 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.
