PÓROS TOWN
Highlights
1
Temple of Aphaea
,
Égina
The best-
preserved ancient temple on any island, in an
evocative setting on a wooded hill with
magnificent views towards the mainland and
Athens.
See p.333
2
Angístri Island
Little known to outsiders, this
dot of land is less than an hour from Athens by
hydrofoil, yet preserves the feel of an unspoilt
hideaway.
See p.335
3
Póros Town
Climb to the clocktower of this
small island's capital to look down over the
Argo-Saronic Gulf and the Peloponnese; the
shipping in the narrow strait between here and
the mainland offers an ever-changing
spectacle.
See p.339
4
Ýdhra Town
Ydhra's perfect, horseshoe-
shaped harbour, surrounded by grand
eighteenth-century mansions and genuinely
tra
c-free streets, is one of the most perfect in
all of Greece.
See p.343
5
Zoyeriá Beach, Spétses
Some of the most
alluring beaches in the Argo-Saronics can be
found along Spétses' pine-speckled coastline; at
hard-to-reach Zoyeriá is a wonderful, isolated
taverna, most of whose customers arrive by
boat.
