Poros
A few words about Poros
Poros means ?crossing?. A crossing which has a special colour, the magic of nature, the shimmering of the sea. Nature put all her skill to work to create this island. A straight or crossing that resembles a wide blue river and winds with the dance-like twistings of a snake. To complete the idyllic picture, nature added a last touch: the pine trees which fill it from the highest point down to the very edge of the sea. An island that captivates the visitor.
