Clock Tower

Reviewed By sophiekY7637WE

The view from up there is amazing, especially at sunset, you are able to see mainland Greece as well as Poros and it's harbours from this point. Not too easy to find and the clock tower is currently under construction/ has green netting over it. Would recommend!

Poros Port

Reviewed By CaroleB55

Reminds me of the Greece I found in the 80s. Flower filled streets, cute shops, waterfront tavernas, small beaches with pristine water. You have experienced Greece until you have taken a ferry, hired a scooter or met Greek hospitality. This os one of the best places to experience all.
