Poros island Attica Greece - returning from the Clock Tower
POROS (Greece): Episode 2 - Sunset View up the Clock Tower
The Clock Tower is the main landmark of the island. It was built in 1927 and is an imposing feature up the hill.
It's a bit of a climb but visitors won't miss the chance to have the best view of Poros during sunset or sunrise.
You can start the climb from the alley next to the 7 Brothers Hotel. Then just follow the small signs posted randomly on the narrow streets and stairs leading to the clock tower.
Then you can go down from the other side of the hill to view the back side of the island.
POROS (Greece): Episode 3 - Exploring Poros Town
The town of Poros is actually an island in itself separated by a small canal from the rest of the island.
In ancient times it was two islands, Spheria and Kalavria, which gradually became joined by an isthmus of sand.
Kalavria, the larger island was wooded and had lots of water.
Spheria, which is now Poros town, was at one time a volcano.

The Clock Tower dominates the city of Poros. From that spot one can see both Poros and the nearby village of Galatas separated by a 200m strait. Sunset from that spot is an amazing experience. Enjoy it.

Poros Island - Greece 4K Travel Channel
The island of Poros is a small Greek island of volcanic origin in the Saronic Gulf.
In ancient times the island was called Kalavria. Here, Poseidon was especially honored. According to ancient mythology, Poseidon gave the island of Delphi in exchange for Poros to Apollo.
In 1828, the first Greek borders were defined during a meeting of the first head of state of independent Greece, Ioannis Kapodistrias, with diplomats from Britain, France and Russia on the island of Poros.
We reach the idyllic island of Hydra coming from the south. The weather is not very welcoming and it is the beginning of November. The main tourist season is over and therefore only few people on the streets.
A few years ago we've visited this region in beautiful sunshine, but we have seen the island and the town only from Galata on the Peloponnese.
Most of the town of Poros is built on a hill situated on the small peninsula Sferia. This time we take the steep climb to the clock tower of Poros. Here it turns out to be an advantage that not as many tourists are traveling.
The view is great. Cacti bloom next to the way and Aleppo pine trees provide shade. We can understand why Poros is a popular destination for Athenians.
The sellers are starting to bring their goods from the street to the shops and to welcome the evening. We enjoy the hustle and bustle from the ship deck over a cup of coffee.
While leaving Poros direction Aegina we look back at the pretty panorama slightly wistful.

Poros ist eine kleine griechische Insel, vulkanischen Ursprungs im Saronischen Golf.
In antiker Zeit hieß die Insel noch Kalavria. Hier wurde Poseidon besonders geehrt. Laut der antiken Mythologie übergab Poseidon die Insel Delphi im Austausch gegen Poros an Apollo.
Im Jahre 1828 traf sich das erste griechische Staatsoberhaupt Ioannis Kapodistrias mit Diplomaten aus England, Frankreich und Russland auf Poros um die ersten Grenzen Griechenlands festzulegen.
Wir erreichen die idyllische Insel vom Süden von Hydra kommend. Das Wetter ist nicht sonderlich einladend und es ist Anfang November. Die Hauptreisezeit ist vorbei und dementsprechend wenige Menschen sind auf den Straßen unterwegs.
Wir waren bereits vor einigen Jahren bei wunderschönem Sonnenschein in dieser Gegend, haben die Insel und den Ort aber nur von Galata vom Peloponnes aus gesehen.
Die Stadt Poros ist überwiegend auf einen Hügel erbaut und liegt auf der kleinen Halbinsel Sferia. Diesmal nutzen wir die Zeit um den steilen Aufstieg zum Uhrturm von Poros zu bewältigen. Hier erweist es sich als Vorteil, dass nicht mehr so viele Touristen unterwegs sind.
Der Ausblick ist großartig. Neben dem Weg blühen Kakteen und Aleppo Kiefern spenden Schatten. Wir können nachvollziehen, warum Poros ein beliebtes Ausflugsziel für Athener ist.
Da auch die Verkäufer beginnen ihre Waren von der Straße in die Geschäfte zu bringen und den Feierabend einläuten genießen wir vom Schiffsdeck aus, bei einer Tasse Kaffee, das Treiben im Ort.
Wir verlassen Poros Richtung Ägina und blicken leicht wehmütig auf das hübsche Panorama zurück.

POROS (Greece): Episode 1 - Aegina to Poros Ferry Ride
Ferry ride to Poros from Aegina takes about 1.5 hrs via the regular ferry Apollon Hellas (from the Saronic Ferries Company).
Two adults + 1 kid one-way tickets cost 22.80 Euro.
This route stops at Methana Island before proceeding to Poros Island.
There's hardly any taxi waiting at the port area. We waited for quite a bit to find one.
However, there is a free minibus the runs along the harbourfront that might be able to take you closer to your hotel. We just didn't know about it that time.
