Destination Essentials

Choosing the right time for your trip is crucial in making the most of your Poros getaway. For family excursions and soaking up the sun, the hottest months of June to September are the best time. Experience the dry season, with an average maximum temperature of 31°C in August, a Mediterranean climate that makes beach holidays in Poros a delightful prospect.

However, to enjoy the mellower side of Poros, consider visiting in early May. This period boasts great weather with less chance of rain or snow – the perfect time to explore the rich landscapes, historic ruins and tranquil beaches of this unforgettable Greek island.
