Saronic Gulf Islands - Greece - page 592

Poros is made up of two land masses connected by a tiny isthmus: Sferia , which is oc-
cupied mainly by the town of Poros, and the much larger and mainly forested Kalavria ,
which has the island's beaches and seasonal hotels scattered along its southern shore.
Poros still maintains a sense of remoteness in its sparsely populated, forested interior.
The Peloponnesian town of Galatas lies on the opposite shore, making Poros a useful
base from which to explore the ancient sites of the Peloponnese. For example, the ex-
quisite ancient theatre of Epidavros ( Click here ) is within reach by car or taxi ( in Gal-

atas 22980 42888) .
