Still today Poros attracts many young couples and families with children from all Europe.
Poros has a port where the ferries from the mainland (Killini) arrived.
For who want to enjoy a beautiful view of the village, the coast and the sea we recommend going to see the Monastery of Atrou which is in the mountains just behind Poros; unfortunately the road is unpaved but the setting is beautiful.
In addition, just over a mile from Poros is an ancient Mycenaean tomb that you can visit.
