Getting around Poros

Getting around
Due to the small roads and non existent parking the main mode of transport on Poros is moped / scooter with walking and cycling a close 2 and 3. Walking to town from Lemonia takes about 20-25 minutes. A popular alternative to riding a scooter is a quad bike. Road-ready quad bikes are available for hire and can be driven everywhere a scooter can. Helmets are provided by the rental company and all require a valid drivers licence and a copy of your passport to hire. Bicycles are available for hire and are decent enough. Further details below.


Having a car on Poros is possible however we suspect could prove more hassle than its worth. Poros Town has very narrow roads and are predominantly one way for cars and parking is limited. Should you decide to go this route you can hire cars easily at the airport and drive them over or you can get one from Pop’s in Galatas. The selection of cars will be much better at the airport as Pop’s is a small operation with only a few cars available at any given time. Further details below

Buses There is a bus every 30' minutes that leaves from the main square in town.
it does the following routes: Α. Poros - Perlia - Small Neorio - Big Neorio Β. Poros - Canali - Askeli - Monastiri Also by boat people can visit the following beaches: Small Neorio - Big Neorio - Askeli - Monastiri - Plaka and Alikes. All the boats leave from the quayside close to the main square.
