Poros Vacation Guide

The island's name means narrow strait, and is separated from the Peloponnese by only 370 meters. It is considered a very romantic place, but is also great for families or backpackers.
The beautiful island has many interesting, picturesque and quiet fishing and mountainous villages proposing nice accommodations built according to the traditional architecture of Greece. It also have a very attractive capital, called Poros Town, where two-storey houses with coloured windows, doors and walls are standing next to fine neoclassical buildings, surrounded by narrow stone-paved streets and alleys.
The ruins of the temple of Poseidon from the 6th century BC and the monastery Zoodochos Pigis ("Life-giving Source") are just about the two only proper sights on the island.
There are also many old, interesting buildings in Poros town. The clocktower offers a breathtaking view, and it is nice just to stroll around here.
