post in Poros as a base for operations. In 1834, warehouses and bakeries were built to provide supplies to the Russian fleet crossing the Aegean. A few years later, the newly-founded Greek state established the first Naval Base in Greece there. The Russians moved their installations a few km away at the place where the ruins of the Russian dockyard are found today.
This property was held by the Russians until 1900. Although very little remains of the dockyard, it was declared a historical monument in 1989, as a testament of the important role played by the Russian forces in the Greek Revolution. |
