CYCLADES Poros - GREECE |
|
Poros May 25/09 We finally arrived in the harbor at Poros just as the sun was setting and made our way through the lit channel, hugging the deeper waters near the endless line of charter boats med-moored to the wall alive with crowds enjoying the restaurants and tavernas along the waterfront. We dropped our anchor next to GWTW, happy to have made it so far without a complete breakdown. |

Poros is just half a mile off the
northern coast of the
Peloponnese Peninsular separated by a
channel of water so narrow that you can almost throw an
olive pit across to the mainland. The town has lots of
character with its white houses and terracotta tiles
roofs, waterfront lined with cafes, bars and
souvenir shops. But it had a laid back feel to
it, despite all the glitz tied up to the town quay.
Its 19th century houses climb in tiers to its apex at a clock tower. |

Fishing Port We walked along the town quay, lined with "toy" fishing boats loaded down with nets. |
