Poros

Poros is a small island, 35,5 nautical miles from Piraeus. Being one of the most beautiful islands of the Saronic, Poros attracts many tourists every summer. Beautiful beaches, nice little houses and mountains with pines.

Poros lies just off the east coast of the Argolid peninsula across a narrow strait which opens out at its western and into Neorion Bay enclosed by splendid wooded hills. A canal divides the island into 2 parts : the major part called Kalavria, is a limestone ridge rising to 390 m - 1279 ft.; the minor is a volcanic islet called Sferia where Poros town, the main port, is reflected in the calm waters of the strait opposite Galatas on the Argolic shore. Its homely character and its verdant countryside (pine, olive and lemon groves) make it an agreeable place to stay or from which to make excursions to the Argolin peninsula : the lemon groves at Lemonodassos and the ruins of Trizinia, Epidauros, Tiryns and Mycenae.
