The island of Poros is known for its beauty, praised by poets and writers such as Georgios Seferis, Ioulia Dragoumi, and Henry Miller. Pinewoods cover the hills and extend to sandy beaches. The town of Poros is surrounded by the Poros Strait and the seaside area of Galata, which is home to pine, olive, and lemon groves, as well as beautiful neoclassical buildings on the seafront.
Poros town and its harbor are built on a hillside across from Troizinia. Visitors can explore the picturesque alleys, Neorio, and Bourtzi Islet. The town is home to many neoclassical buildings, such as the Deimezis building constructed with grey and red stone, Grivas’ shop, a late 19th-century department store, and Villa Galini, a beautiful house that has accommodated celebrities of the arts.
