Yacht Charters

Famous for its geographic treasures, the island of Poros is filled with rolling hills and mountainous terrain, and its coasts serve as a haven for some of the world’s most beautiful beaches, making it the perfect stop on a yacht charter in Greece.

The result of two islands merging into one – Sphería and Kalávria, permanently fused together after the eruption of the Méthana volcano in 273 BC – Poros is adorned with vast areas of lush greenery, celestial beaches, and a vibrant, cosmopolitan ambiance; evident in its store-lined waterfront, grandiose mansions, elegant cobblestone streets and intimate, but popular restaurants and cafes.

Dotted with history throughout, Poros has Greek mythology and tradition at the core of its charm. In fact, its strategic location made it a significant location during the 1821 Greek Revolution, and in the early 19th century, it was even the site of the first Greek naval base.

Chartering in Paros: When to Go?

June, July and August are peak months for yacht charters in Poros (when the temperatures are the hottest), but shoulder months of May, September and even beginning of October are popular, as well.

Built around 520 BC, and a representation of typical Doric architecture, today, the Temple of Poseidon is the site of ancient ruins. An icon of Greek mythology, this haunt is believed to be the place where Demosthenes – an Athenian orator pursued by King Philip, of Macedonia – committed suicide by drinking poison, while begging for the temple’s “sanctuary” and protection.

Situated at the elevated endpoint of winding, narrow streets, the historic clock tower – built in 1927 – boasts uninhibited, panoramic views of the entire island of Poros below. As the highest point on the island, this tower welcomes travelers to Poros; standing tall with its dignified and fortress-like shape.

Lemon Forest

Named for its plethora of more than 30,000 lemon and orange trees.

Appropriately named for its plethora of more than 30,000 lemon and orange trees, Lemon Forest – a verdurous hilltop on the coast of Peloponnese – is just a short boat ride from the island of Poros. Accessible only by boat, this unique landmark offers one of the most stunning views of Poros, and is surrounded by pristine and historic islets: like Boúrtzi, with its Byzantine fortress; Modi, with its Mycenaean shipwreck; and Daskaleió, with its chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
