Hi, I'm Rae and I'm from Oxford. Poros was the first Greek island my wife and I visited, back in 1999. Since then, we have stayed there in 2000, 2002 and 2007, as well as visiting for a day in 2003 (when staying in Athens). A hectic night-life is not our first priority (I'll be 60 in August!) so the laid-back life style of Poros suits us just fine. We stayed at the Saga Studios in '99, which was OK. It seems to have had a makeover since (according to Matt Barrett) and sounds even better now. We've stayed at the Kalimera Studios twice (excellent) and, in 2007, the Pavlou (very, very good). The best place to eat is probably Anna's, closely followed by Dimitri's and the Poseidon, although the Platanus (The Plain Tree) figures highly. In fact, we first met Anna when she worked with her husband, in the Poseidon, back in '99. Poros Taverna is also excellent.
Here is a funny story (I hope!). On many visits I would sit by the waterfront having a mid-morning coffee and gaze at a large white house high on the wooded hill-side opposite and imagine it to be my dream home. One evening (during our last visit) I decided to view my "dream home" though the tele-photo lense of my camera, only to discover that it was in fact, a hospital!
Best wishes,
Rae.
