Product Description

Travel Photography Poros is a small Greek island-pair in the southern part of the Saronic Gulf. Poros consists of two islands: Sphairia, the southern part, which is of volcanic origin, where today’s city is located, and Kalaureia (meaning ‘gentle breeze’), the northern and largest part. A bridge connects the two islands over a narrow isthmus. Poros is an island with rich vegetation. Much of the northern and far eastern/western sides of the island are bushy, whereas large areas of old pine forest are found in the south and center of the island. It has a good road network and adequate tourist infrastructure, which makes it a popular resort for short holidays. Though possessing no airport, it is easily accessible from Athens via ferry or hydrofoil or from the adjacent mainland at Galatas. [Wikipedia]
