Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
August. Turning left from the quay at Skala takes you south along a dirt path through the
pine trees to the pebbly and clothing-optional
Halikadha Beach
.
About 1km west from Skala, Angistri's other port,
Mylos
(Megalochori), has an ap-
pealing traditional character, rooms and tavernas, but no beach.
Aponissos
has turquoise waters, a small offshore island, and a reliably tasty taverna.
Limenaria
has deeper green waters. The island as a whole gets super-sleepy in low sea-
son.
Sleeping & Eating
Book ahead, especially for August and summer weekends. A board on Skala's quay lists
accommodation.

POROS ΠΟΡΟΣ
POP 4010
Poros is separated from the mountainous Peloponnese by a narrow sea channel, and its
protected setting makes the main settlement of Poros Town seem like a cheery lakeside
resort. Its pastel-hued houses stack up the hillside to a clock tower and make a vibrant
first impression.
