Poros TownΠόρος
POP 4102
Zippy Poros Town is a mishmash of charming ice cream-coloured houses that look out
across the narrow channel at Galatas and the shapely mountains of the Peloponnese. Sail-
boats bob along the lengthy quay while ferries glide through the channel and smaller ves-
sels scurry to and fro. Behind the harbour,
plateies
(squares) and tavernas hide from view
and a rocky bluff rises steeply to a crowning clock tower.
