Poros may lack the glamour of Hydra, the cachet of Spetses, and the artistic allusions of Aegina, but it evokes the fondest memories among Athenians as the holiday destination of their childhood.
At first glance, Poros barely qualifies as an island at all. The channel separating it from the northeastern Peloponnese is just 200 meters wide and the crossing, by ‘floating bridge’ or brightly coloured skiff, takes about 10 minutes.
In fact, Poros was once two islands: Spheria, a small headland on which the harbor town stretches into the sea; and ancient Kalavria, a larger isle now sprinkled with pine-shaded beaches and low-key resorts. The channel’s beauty and calm have inspired the likes of George Seferis, John Craxton, and Henry Miller, who wrote that “coming into Poros gives the illusion of the deep dream.”
