Tip: You can reach Poros by car, taking a small boat from Galatas bay, but booking a ferry ticket at Let’s Ferry, will save you a two and a half-hour road trip. Specially if you chose a flying dolphin that will literally “fly” you here in just an hour! You can then rent a car or take a taxi to move around the island.
