A narrow strait of land connects the vivid island of Kalavria on the North to the volcanic Sphairia on the south, to form what we have come to know as Poros. The island also features an amazing lagoon-like coastline comprising of numerous sandy beaches. Aside from taking in the Saronic Sea, numerous churches and monasteries are on the ends of Poros' many hiking trails which will take you through beautiful green landscapes.
