Winter By the Sea

The little stone chapel dedicated to St Sophia

Guarding Love Bay

This is a very small bay and in mid summer it's very popular.  There are lines of cars parked along the road above turning it into a one-way track.

Down on the beach there are 2 or 3 rows of sunbeds and half a dozen yachts anchored just off shore

There's one small canteen which does a roaring trade 

I've only ever been down there once.  The seabed is quaggy, squishy underfoot

    But the little bay and beach live up to it's name.

It's a very romantic little bay with St Sophia and her chapel keeping guard and the pine trees almost down to the water providing shade

St Sophia has her fiesta on 17 September.  The service here is always popular and in latter years the 'Women of Poros' have made sure there are piles of sweet Holy bread and other delights to be handed around after the liturgy
