We sailed to Poros so you don't have to || Sailing SV GOAT ep 68

In Episode 68 of the Sailing Goat Series, we sail from Aegina to the postcard-perfect island of Poros, nestled between the Peloponnese and the Saronic Gulf—a place that feels like it's been lifted straight out of a sailor’s daydream. 🧿 Poros: A Greek Island Fantasy Poros isn't just beautiful—it’s the kind of beauty that whispers to your soul. With its neoclassical waterfront homes cascading down terracotta hills, its clocktower rising above olive trees and tiled rooftops, and its narrow streets filled with fragrant jasmine and hidden tavernas, Poros is a place that slows time down. The island is separated from the mainland by a narrow, shimmering channel—just 200 meters wide—which makes sailing in feel like gliding into a secret world. From the serene coves of Love Bay, with its translucent turquoise water, to the pine-scented trails and sleepy villages inland, every corner of Poros invites peace, reflection, and wonder. ⚓ Our Experience: We moored on a buoy across from town, with stunning views and peaceful waters... that is, until the daily charter boat circus began. As always, we watched in awe (and horror) as charter boats zigzagged without plans, nearly clipping each other in a ballet of chaos. 🌬️ Storm Incoming: With a 5-day Meltemi windstorm brewing on the horizon, we went into full prep mode. With gusts reaching 38 knots, it was time to secure the boat and ride out what Neptune had in store. 📍 This Episode Includes: Sailing Aegina ➜ Poros Exploring the magic of Poros: nature, charm, and calm Charter boat chaos and anchoring antics 38kt storm preparation & what it's like to hunker down aboard Boat life rhythms in the Aegean 💬 Join the Conversation: Have you visited Poros or weathered a storm in the Saronic Gulf?
