The island’s pine trees line the rugged shores and the sandy beaches. Approaching Poros by sea you will see the historical clock tower atop the island’s highest hill. The beach houses are mostly neoclassical in style, with the first built in 1463. Explore the town centre and the Archaeological Museum. Aegina is the land of the legendary Achilles.
