Ermioni and Poros sit close together on the Saronic Gulf, and the short hop between them is one of the more relaxed ferry connections in Greek waters. Ermioni's harbour is a working fishing port on the Argolic coast, small enough that you can watch the boat come in from a taverna table on the quay. Poros feels almost urban by comparison for an island of its size: the ferry ties up a short walk from the main square, and the strait separating the island from the Peloponnesian mainland is narrow enough to see clearly across. Hellenic Seaways runs the route, and sailings continue well beyond the summer peak rather than stopping when the crowds thin out -- check the schedule box above for the latest confirmed dates.
In high summer there can be a couple of sailings a day, enough to build in a swim or a long lunch before catching a later boat back. Outside the busiest weeks the service typically settles to a single daily departure, which is still enough to make this a genuine day-trip option rather than an occasional connection. The crossing itself is brief and runs through sheltered water, so it rarely suffers the exposure that can disrupt routes further out in the Aegean.

Tips for the Ermioni–Poros Ferry
- Photography from the deck is excellent – the golden hour light on island whitewashed buildings as you arrive is hard to match.
- If you are connecting to another ferry on the same day, check whether both depart from the same area of the port to gauge how much walking time you need.
- In Poros, the clock tower rising above the harbour has been the island's landmark since 1927, and the seafront promenade lined with yachts, neoclassical buildings, and fish tavernas makes for a very pleasant stroll. The ruins of an ancient Temple of Poseidon lie inland, and just across the narrow strait on the Peloponnese shore is one of Greece's most celebrated lemon forests.

Do you need a car on Poros?
Not really. Poros is small, about 7 by 4 miles, and cars are banned from the tiny town centre in summer, so everyone parks near the port and walks. Scooters are cheap and cover the rest of the island easily, and small boats run constantly from the port to the beaches. Car hire does exist if you'd rather have four wheels; check current listings at Discover Cars.
Can you rent a car in Ermioni?
Yes, though choice is limited. Ermioni is a small mainland town in the Argolid, mainly a jumping-off point for ferries to Hydra and Spetses; a car matters more for reaching it from Athens or Nafplio than for getting around the town itself, which is small and walkable. A couple of local agencies operate near the quay. Compare options at Discover Cars.
