Poros

The port village of Poros is in the south-east of Kefalonia, some 12km north of Skala.
There are some truly unique places to eat and drink here – tavernas high up on the hill with stunning views over the port and across to Ithaka and ‘Remetzo’, a café bar at the port partially built inside a cave.
Limenia beach is on the road into Poros coming from Skala and has been dubbed mushroom beach due to the shape of the rocks in the sea. A little further along, towards Poros and up the hill is a beautiful hidden cove; park in the right hand clearing, walk along the cliff top and you will find the pathway heading down to the shore.
The port of Poros is very busy during the summer months due to the ferry which connects Kefalonia with mainland Greece and also because its a great area to sit and chill whatever the time of day.
From the port, follow the road up the hill and turn right onto the parade of shops and tavernas along the seafront. The beaches here mostly consist of shingle or pebbles so we recommend swim shoes if your feet are sensitive. The village of Poros is open all year round and during the summer months you will find everything you will need throughout your stay. If you like pizza, try Odysseus Palace, on the corner, opposite the town hall, one of the best in our opinion!
Further along the coastline is Ragia beach which was awarded a Blue Flag for water quality in 2019. There is a good selection of café bars and tavernas on this stretch of seafront, all of which are very good, a favourite of ours is Paradise Pool, a friendly family run taverna that serves up a delicious meze and a varied menu to suit all tastes.
All in all, Poros has something to offer everyone.
