Hiking Tours in Poros Town is a guided walking activity that explores the pine-clad hills and coastal paths of Poros, a small island in the Saronic Gulf. The tours depart from the town's clock tower square and follow marked trails that connect the Venetian ruins at the summit of Vigla with the monastery of Zoodochos Pigi. Each route is paced for casual walkers and includes stops at natural springs and olive groves, with views across the strait to the Peloponnese mainland.
What to expect
- Tours run for 3 to 4 hours, covering 6 to 8 kilometres of dirt paths and stone steps, with a mid-route rest at a shaded picnic area.
- The route includes a 30-minute climb to the 18th-century Vigla fortress, where guides point out the original cisterns and cannon emplacements.
- A local guide carries a first-aid kit and provides printed maps, while water and a small pack of dried figs are included in the fee.
- The walk passes the Monastery of Zoodochos Pogi, where visitors can enter the courtyard and see the 17th-century frescoes in the main chapel.
- Suitable for adults and children over 10 years old with basic fitness; walking poles are available on request at the starting point.
- The tour ends at the Poros Archaeological Museum, where the guide offers a 15-minute optional introduction to the displayed Mycenaean pottery.
