Picture-perfect Poros is known for its lush landscapes, adorable harbour and, like any quintessential Greek island, it boasts a menu of beaches too. Here, you’ll find less rows of sunbeds and more tucked-away spots that fit only a handful of people. Sounds perfect, right? We think so too – cue the list of our favourite beaches in Poros.

Love Bay

Dubbed the most beautiful and romantic beach in Poros, Love Bay is where secret couples used to meet back in the 1950s. Nowadays, friends, families and lovers alike visit this gorgeous bay to witness its dazzling scenery. Wrapped by lush pine trees that lean into the turquoise waters, this petite beach feels like a secret garden by the sea. The natural shade makes it ideal for lounging with a book, while the calm, clear waters are perfect for a swim. Whether you fancy a full beach day or just want to snap some pics of the emerald-green scenery, this place is a must-visit in Poros.

Monastiri Beach

Nestled in a serene bay, Monastiri Beach is named after the nearby historic monastery that adds a touch of charm to the surroundings. The beach is pebbly, with see-through waters, ideal for floating the day away. It’s a quieter spot, great for those looking to escape the crowds and soak in the tranquil atmosphere.

Vagionia Beach

The northernmost beach in Poros is the secluded but oh-so dreamy Vagionia Beach. It’s a bit harder to reach, but that’s part of its charm – the zigzagging road that leads to this untouched Greek paradise reveals postcard-perfect scenes at the end. The crystal-clear waters won’t surprise anymore, but the lush nature hugging this slice of footprint-free haven will wow all its visitors. We haven’t even got to the best part yet… Just beneath the surface lies the ruins of an ancient city – remnants of cobbled streets, foundations of houses and more. All just a couple meters away from the shoreline too! Hope you packed that snorkelling gear…

Gerolimani Beach

For those seeking a quieter, more rustic beach experience, Gerolimani Beach is the place to go. This small, pebbled cove offers a peaceful escape from the more bustling spots on the island. The surrounding landscape adds to its charm, making Gerolimani Beach an ideal spot for those who appreciate raw, unspoilt beauty. There’s little in the way of amenities though, so come prepared with everything you need for a day of relaxation.

Askeli Beach

Like your beach day served with a side of action? Askeli Beach will be your go-to spot. Stretching across a sandy shorefront, it beckons with glistening waters and all the amenities you could ask for – sunbeds, parasols and even beach volleyball courts for the sporty types. Any water sports? You bet! Whether you’re paddleboarding or just floating lazily, Askeli’s got you covered. Hungry? The nearby tavernas serve up local delights.

Kanali Beach

One of the popular choices for locals, Kanali Beach is a charmer, especially for families. Just a 20-minute walk (or an even shorter bus ride) from Poros Town, this sandy gem offers shallow waters, sunbeds and enough space to lay out your towel too. Little ones getting peckish? The nearby tavernas and cafes have you covered with fresh, local dishes. Insider tip: the sunsets here are gorgeous – make sure to stick around for them!

Megalo Neorio Beach

With its golden sand and pine trees practically dipping into the sea, Megalo Neorio Beach is a dreamy escape. The shallow waters make it perfect for families, while the organised sections cater to those who prefer a sunbed and umbrella over a towel on the sand. The nearby tavernas serve up fresh seafood, making it easy to turn your beach day into a foodie adventure.
