Pictorial Poros Under Cloudy Skies

Teeming with tourists in the summer this old jetty is usually framed by never ending blue skies and sea churned by boats and humans.

Now the waters are people free, wonderful to walk and contemplate in an easy silence, dressed warmly in shoes and jacket, no blistering sun

The narrow canal linking the two small islands, Spheria and Kalavria which make up Poros

The canal at its narrowest, just big enough for a small fishing boat to pass through

Small church dedicated to the Virgin Mary at the end of Askeli Bay

We have held family church services and baptisms here and attended weddings.  The church is so small that only the priest, chanter and a few bods fit inside.  The services and ceremonies take place in the yard outside the church under the gum trees, beside the sea

Another view of the church

Unused in the winter, except for a rare family service

The way to the two most visited sites on Poros, the ancient temple, not much left to see, and the monastery, with one very strict monk who remains there.  Woe betide if  women should enter in trousers or bare shoulders

Down on the waterfront, one of the few tavernas still open and then only on weekends in the winter
