Poros
means "crossing" and so the island's name comes from the sea crossing of 200m that separates Poros Island from the Peloponnesian coast.
Since ancient times, Poros comprised of two islands: Sferia, a small islet of volcanic origin where the small traditional town of Poros is found, and the green Kalavria, connected by a narrow sea channel.
Poros is one of the Saronic Islands, the greenest and nearest to Peloponnese, with taxi-boats and a small ferryboat providing frequent transfers from and to Galatas Harbor.
