Poros island



Poros is the island of peace, romance and jauntiness. It is overgrown with pine trees which reach the rugged shores or the sandy beaches.

The residents of Poros are like all islands, spontaneous, decent and hospitable.

Its Historic Clock is imposing from the distance on the highest top of the hill, among prickly pears and pine trees.

It was built in 1927, it is visible from every part and it is the jewel of the town. The houses by the sea are big and neoclassical.

They are the building of Deimezi, built with grey and red stone, the shop of Griva, with the big doors and beautiful decoration.

There are many little taverns spread among the pictures - due backstreets of Poros.

Along the pier, the visitor sees plenty of cafeterias, restaurants, tourist shops, many bars and discos with foreign and Greek music.

From the most nice houses of Poros is Villa Galini, building of 1892, that has accommodated famous personalities of Art.

At the center of town you can find the archaeological museum, that is opened daily except Monday.

Also someone can visit the Metropolitan Church of Saint George and the Xatzopoulio Public Library.
