Poros is a small island with few roads and short distances and the effort that is made is the internal transportation by car to be the minimum possible, especially in the summer. For this reason, during the tourist season, traffic bans are applied in the center of the island and residents and visitors park their vehicles in the central parking lot of the port (ferry boats) and move to the center on foot or by public transport.
The means of transport in the island are:
Public Transport
It is free of charge with itineraries every 20 minutes and the starting point is at the New West Port (at the beginning of the main coastal road that leads to the center, opposite the neoclassical building of Syggros). See detailed schedules that are valid per period.
Taxi
The taxi rank is located in the center of the coastal road of the island - tel. 22980 23003
Boats
In the summer season, traditional passenger boats depart from Galatas every 10 minutes 24 hours a day. Also, in the summer season there are itineraries to other areas of the island. See in detail the itineraries that are valid per period HERE.
