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.
After buying some juicy peaches and grapes, the typical, rich fruits of a Greek summer, I continued west to explore the beach areas. August is not the best time for this: all beaches were packed, and after a short rest on Love Bay Beach wich did not impress as very lovely, I continued biking, past the remains of the Russian dockyard which was built here in the early 19th century. From here, traffic thinned out, and the last stretch towards the far west of Poros was almost empty. It also offered a good vantage point of seeing the heavy clouds coming in from Attica - clouds of the devastating fires that consumed so much of beautiful Greek lands. I cycled back to Poros town and past a forest that burnt only months before, and then walked around Poros town with its stately, neoclassical mansions and little mermaid statue, before catching a real boat (not a hydrofoil) back to Piraeus. It allowed me to enjoy the view of Poros, disappearing in the Saronic Gulf, from the deck of the boat with the wind in my hair.
