Very close to the Peloponnesus, Poros offers beaches, a monastery and the ruins of a classic Poseidon temple, stately houses, the typical, pleasant smell of Greek islands but also an overflow of tourism.
When the hydrofoil approached Poros, it was almost impossible to realize that we were approaching an island: Poros seems attached to the Peloponnesus. After docking, I sought to escape the tourist crowds by walking along the boulevard; following the road made me see how there is indeed a narrow strait between the two. I walked around Sferia island and arrived at the narrow isthmus connecting Sferia to larger Kalavria. Here, I decided to rent a bike to explore the island. My first destination was the monastery of Zoodochou Pigi. The climb up was already worth it: a layer of green trees covered the hill on which the monastery sits. Inside, you can find a spring that is supposed to have healing capacities. The prayer hall itself is typically orthodox, with many gold-painted saints and a richly decorated prayer wall.
