"POROS" Poros by Acirfa

Poros is a small Greek island-pair in the southern part of the Saronic Gulf, at a distance about 58 km (31 nautical miles) south from Piraeus and separated from the Peloponnese by a 200-metre wide sea channel.

Poros consists of two islands: Sphairia or Sferia, the southern part, which is of volcanic origin, where today's city is located, and Kalaureia, also Kalavria or Calauria (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. A lot of the island is bushy, areas of old pine forest are found in the south and center of the island.

There is no airport, however, it is easily accessible from Athens via ferry or hydrofoil or from the adjacent mainland at Galatas.
