Saronic Islands 3825 hits
Among the magnificent island clusters that are outspread all over the Greek seas and embellish the country in a bedazzling manner, the small but beautiful Saronic Islands cluster predominates mainly due to the fact that it is situated at a close distance from the capital of Greece and therefore it is considered to be an ideal resort for long-term vacations as well as for a weekend escapade. The cluster of the Saronic Islands cluster is located in the heart of the Saronic Gulf, which is situated between the prefecture of Attica and the eastern side of the geographical district of the Peloponnese, and comprises of the following exquisite islands: Angistri, Aegina, Poros, Salamina, Spetses and Hydra. The Saronic Islands have an important history and an interesting tradition of many centuries, as they were inhabited from the prehistoric era, during which they were greatly developed. Their acme continued during the oncoming years, especially in the field of commerce and shipping, but it was bound when Athens became the major shipping leader after the Persian Wars. The Macedonians and the Romans conquered the Saronic Islands, while during the Byzantine era pirates were constantly invading the islands. However, their contribution to the Greek Revolution in 1821 was of ultimate importance. The verdant island of Angistri with the crystal clear beaches, the much-frequented island of Aegina with the picturesque settlements, the famous for its therapy spa islands of Methana, the exceptionally noble island of Poros with the unique natural beauty and the fine tourist substructure, the historical island of Salamina, which pulses with impressive sites, the non-identical island of Spetses with the beautiful gigs and finally the cosmopolitan island of Hydra which has been declared scheduled, compose the irresistibly attractive icon of the Saronic Islands cluster.

Poros 3427 hits
The word Poros is a geographical term that means a small sea strip which connects two small bays. Indeed, the distance between Poros and the coast across, in the nearest point is only 200m. The ancient authors initially mentioned Poros with the name Irini (peace) probably, because of the peace that dominated the area after the Dorian descent and the disruption of the Mycenaean state. Poros consists of two islands, which come from two different geological periods, Sphera and Kalavria. Sphera owes its name to Spheros who was buried in the island. Later it was renamed to Iera. The second island was named Skelerdia and Kalavria, when the town was built around the sanctuary. Kalavria means, good breeze. Maybe, it took this name from Kalavropa Apollo who was worshiped in the island. Poros covers a distance of 31,3 sq. Km., and population of 4,000 people. It is situated 32 nautical miles from Piraeus. The town is built on two rocky hills of a triangular islet that is called Spheria and it has been characterized as a scheduled settlement. The houses, without any specific architectural plan, are built one next to the other. The Albanians from the Peloponnese built the first settlements in Casteli. Chased by the Turks they found refuge in this area, in 1463. The small but interesting Archaeological Museum of Poros is situated in Korizi's square. It exhibits findings from the ancient Kalavria and the ancient Troizina. Most of the visitors make the tour of Spheria using the circular road of the island. Poros has a developed tourist substructure. Modern hotels and rent rooms will serve the visitors. The port of Poros, the center of life of the island, presents a bright and pleasant sight with the anchors, the cannons and the marvelous shops. A festival that no one should miss is the nautical week, which is organized during summer months.
