It is located 32 nautical miles south from Piraeus. The island has an area of 31 square kilometers and about 4.000 inhabitants.
Poros is a volcanic island, created by the joining of Kalavria and Sferia, two pre-existing islets.
There is much vegetation on the island and the highest hill is Vigla (358 meters above the sea level).
A canal divides the island into 2 parts. The major part, called Kalavria, is a limestone ridge rising to 390 meters ; the minor section is a volcanic islet called Sferia, where is the capital and the port.

In ancient times, Poros was called Kalavria and together with several cities formed the Kalavrian League (7thc.BC) of which it was the headquarters.

In the period of Turkish domination it was semi-independent and during the Greek War of independence in 1821, the inhabitants assisted the people of Hydra and Spetses in their struggle against the Turks. In 1830, the first Greek shipyard was created on the island and continued in use until 1877.

The capital and the port of the island, also called POROS, is the commercial, economical, and cultural center of the island. It is a small, picturesque town, with two-storey houses with tilde roofs on the sea-front.
Generally speaking, the settlement retains its flavor in many of the steep alleyways, despite the intrusion of tourism.
The archaeological museum contains a good number of objects from the region of ancient Trizina, and is well worth visiting (tel. + 30 22980 23276).
Other interesting sites include the historical clock in the square and the old shipyard.
