Poros Island
Date: Oct 17, 2005
Poros Review:
I have known this island for over 20 years, it does not have the best beaches, the best nightlife and has many tacky tourist shops BUT it has a real charm all of its own, walk 10 yards back from the hustle and bustle of the main road and walk into the peace and quite of a real living Greek village, full of people just getting on with their lives. Take a morning to sit in one of the many cafes on the front and watch the ferries come and go, and just people watch. Take an hour to swim in the crystal clear waters on one the many beaches in the back island. Watch the sunset over the hills on the mainland, see the red scream across the sea and the sun dissapear until tomorrow. Later eat in one the many, many great tavernas on the island (I have not had a bad meal on Poros). If you want to go on talking, drinking and dancing visit any one of the nightclubs on the island and if you want to see the sunrise, either climb to the top of the island or go to a nightclub with the right view. Poros has everything for me, it is both quite and noisy, you can walk everywhere but there are inexpensive taxis available day and night and 2 buses which run throughout the day. Because of its proximity to Athens, it still retains an essential Greekness missing from many of the more visited islands. It has a special feel all of its own. It has my heart.
