Testimonials
"George and Haven on Earth were such a godsend for us when we started to look for a second home in Spain. He was both super attentive as well as having a ton of local knowledge. When you are buying a home in another country it is so important to have experts who know how to conduct the transactions, who the key players are, the local geography – including the micro-climates and who can point you to road blocks to navigate and who know the details of the local culture. In addition, George and Sheila and Haven on Earth have helped us to rent out our second home and we have nearly full occupancy for this summer – amazing in the economy!
Not only did George pay attention to all the details of what we needed to learn and who we needed to meet – he was also a genuinely nice person, fun to be with and smart."

Galatas
GALATAS is a town located in the eastern part of the peninsula of the Peloponnese just a stones throw away from Poros and 2 hours drive from Athens is fast becoming a haven for those looking for the rustic approach to a greek holiday. It is the seat of the municipality of Troizina. It is one of the easternmost municipalities on the peninsula and is located on a road connecting the rest of the Peloponnese: Argolis and Ligouri and Galatas and the road to Ermioni and Kranidi. Located East of ancient Troezen, South East of Ligouri, North East of Kranidi and Ermioni and South West of Methana. Its twin town, the island city of POROS, is only 50m away. GALATAS is a small mainland town with a new high school, medical centre, church, banks and a new sea front area (plateia) overlooking Poros Island. GALATAS connects to the island of POROS with small boats (water taxis). In ancient times, a sump was between Galatas and Poros. Galatas also has many independent shops, some businesses and plenty of tavernas. Until the 1960s, the area was home to many goats that produced milk and cheese and gave it the name Galatas (meaning milk fields) The area is beautiful. The mountain range Anderes overlooks the Saronic Gulf and the Athens coastline. It is fast becoming a popular place to build homes and development is higher now than that of Poros. |

Nearby islands in the Saronic Gulf are Hydra, Spetses and Aegina, all of which can be accessed via fast ferry from Poros. If you want to island hop further afield you can nip back to Athens and take a ferry to a whole host of other islands including Mykonos. If you like the idea of a sailing and land-based holiday we can recommend yacht chartering services from the harbour where you can also hire a skipper to take care of you. Villas with pool and yacht chartering are available on the mainland at Ancient Epidavros and on the island of Zakynthos in the Ionion group of islands. |
