Arrive at the Sanctuary of Poseidon in the northern part of the island. Find a spot among the ancient ruins facing west. The open view allows you to watch the sky change color as the sun sets over the water.

Stay for the final moments of daylight. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting a warm glow on the historic remains before fading into twilight.
18:01
Head to Garden Restaurant near the Archaeological Museum. The cool environment full of bougainvilleas and jasmines provides a pleasant setting for dinner after the sun has gone down. Enjoy appetizers or grilled dishes in the evening air.

Walk to Joy for a drink. This bar offers a view of the port of Poros and good music, perfect for winding down after dinner as the night settles in.
Local tip
The sanctuary is located in the northern part of the island. Plan your return to town carefully as it gets dark. Joy is the place for a post-dinner drink with a view of the port.
