Poros to Ermioni Route Map
Poros to Ermioni is fifty-five minutes to an hour and a half with Hellenic Seaways, on the Aero 1 or Aero 4 highspeed catamarans. Times vary because some sailings call at Hydra on the way and others run more directly. It is a foot-passenger service on a sheltered stretch of the gulf between the Saronic islands and the Argolid coast.
Ermioni is a mainland town on a small wooded peninsula in the Argolis, quieter and less touristed than Hydra or Spetses across the water. Athenian weekenders make up much of its trade, and the appeal is seaside tavernas, rocky swimming coves and pine trees on the Bisti headland by the harbour. It is also a useful road head if you are heading into the Peloponnese.
The route runs a couple of times a day in season, tailing off outside it. Current departure times and fares are in the table below. From Ermioni you can drive on to Nafplio and the Argolid sites, or pick up the same fast boats onward to Spetses.

Hiring a car
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.
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.
