What it is
Galatas is the Peloponnese village you face from the Poros quay, across a strait a few hundred metres wide. You cross in a few minutes on the boats that run to and fro all day. On the outskirts, at the foot of the mountain, the Lemonodasos, the lemon forest, is a huge expanse of lemon and orange trees between irrigation channels and dirt tracks: in spring, when they bloom, you can smell it from afar.
How to get there
Take the boat from the Poros quay to Galatas; from the village, the lemon forest is about 3 km north-west, on foot, by bike or by taxi. Bring water and a hat: the tracks have little shade.
Tips
- In March and April It is when the lemon trees bloom.
