Askeli is a wonderful beach, quite long with deep yellow sand and silky blue waters . There are bars, taverns, even a court for beach volley is there to please even the most demanding visitor.
Vagiona is a beautiful bay in the north part of Poros, near the village of Agios Nektarios. There is a road that leading you to the beach after some kilometers to the north of the village.
Poros town harbor provides an excellent shelter but, because of the constant traffic of large and small ferries, there is an almost continual wash caused by their wakes. Also, during south winds, there can be gusts.
As Poros town is built on a small peninsula surrounded by quays, along the south and northwest sides, the harbour provides excellent shelter all year round. The closest airport to Poros island is the International Airport of Athens (IATA: ATH) and from the airport or the city centre, visitors can go to the port of Piraeus and take the ferry to Poros.
