We stayed at the quaint <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Hotel_Review-g189494-d1399988-Reviews-Hotel_Pavlou-Poros_Saronic_Gulf_Islands.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hotel Pavlou<\/a> right on the ocean, the beach just a few steps from the front door and a private bar and pool in the back. The hotel has a great restaurant so we were able to eat lunch and dinner right by the ocean. Staying in Poros truly felt like being a guest in a town in Greece, not being one of many tourists in a vacation spot. We had the beach pretty much to ourselves, sunbathing under the blue skies and swimming in the crystal water.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-17322 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/greeceporos-HIDDEN-GEMS-OF-GREECE-HYDRA-AND-POROS-ISLAND-774x514.jpg\" alt=\"greeceporos HIDDEN GEMS OF GREECE- HYDRA AND POROS ISLAND\" width=\"774\" height=\"514\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/greeceporos-HIDDEN-GEMS-OF-GREECE-HYDRA-AND-POROS-ISLAND-774x514.jpg 774w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/greeceporos-HIDDEN-GEMS-OF-GREECE-HYDRA-AND-POROS-ISLAND-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/greeceporos-HIDDEN-GEMS-OF-GREECE-HYDRA-AND-POROS-ISLAND-500x332.jpg 500w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/greeceporos-HIDDEN-GEMS-OF-GREECE-HYDRA-AND-POROS-ISLAND.jpg 948w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 774px) 100vw, 774px\" \/><br \/>\nIn Poros there was a fun watersports place where you could pay a la carte for what you wanted to do. If you wanted to go waterskiing or tubing or banana boating, then you paid cash for what you wanted and hopped on. If not, there was free cold beer on the dock. One of the most memorable experiences not only of this trip but of my entire life was being able to go parasailing! Where else can you pay 40 bucks to parasail above the Mediterranean Sea with views of mountains and Greek villages all around you?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-17323 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/greeceporosbeach-HIDDEN-GEMS-OF-GREECE-HYDRA-AND-POROS-ISLAND-774x1164.jpg\" alt=\"greeceporosbeach HIDDEN GEMS OF GREECE- HYDRA AND POROS ISLAND\" width=\"774\" height=\"1164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/greeceporosbeach-HIDDEN-GEMS-OF-GREECE-HYDRA-AND-POROS-ISLAND-774x1164.jpg 774w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/greeceporosbeach-HIDDEN-GEMS-OF-GREECE-HYDRA-AND-POROS-ISLAND-120x180.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/greeceporosbeach-HIDDEN-GEMS-OF-GREECE-HYDRA-AND-POROS-ISLAND-500x752.jpg 500w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/greeceporosbeach-HIDDEN-GEMS-OF-GREECE-HYDRA-AND-POROS-ISLAND.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 774px) 100vw, 774px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>HYDRA<\/h3>\n<p>The next day I took a day trip to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greeka.com\/saronic\/hydra\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hydra<\/a>, about an hour <a href=\"http:\/\/www.directferries.com\/poros_hydra_ferry.htm?utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;gclid=CPyqxNuoidUCFYcdgQodmI4Bmg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ferry ride<\/a> from Poros.

All along the main strip right where the boat docked were cute boutiques selling beautiful jewelry, leather sandals and colorful clothes. I was able to get unique souvenirs for reasonable prices, like handmade sandals for 30\u20ac. After a delicious lunch we took the ferry back to Poros and enjoyed a sunny afternoon on the beach.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Of course someday I\u2019d love to return to this incredible country and see tourist favorite islands like Santorini and Mykonos, but I wouldn\u2019t trade my adventure in hidden Greece for the world.
