Mycenaean tomb
The ancient Trizina is known as the homeland of Thiseas and it is one of the most interesting places near Poros. All the archaeological finds from ancient Trizina are located in the Archaeological Museum. Then, at a distance of about 3 km from Trizina there is a place called "Vasiliki Tafi" (The Royal Cemetery). This area is interesting because of the archaeological finds of the Mycenaean period.
Lemon grove
Take the opportunity to stroll around this verdant hill with more than 30,000 lemon and orange trees with scattered taverns all around, located on the opposite coast near Galatas in the Peloponnese. From the top, the view is panoramic. The boat trip will only take a few minutes. It has been declared a protected area by the European Union.
Aliki is a gorgeous beach with sand inside and out which winds up in a lagoon. It has shallow water and Bourtzi is right across where anyone can swim to. Located at the entrance of Poros’ waterway, as you come in from Hydra on the flying dolphin.
Hotel, swimming pool and waterski on the continent
The water ski centre is managed by Sotiris Kyprios, former European Slalom Senior 1 Champion and his wife Marianna. The resort can accommodate up to 45 skiers, and teach them how to ski from complete beginners to advanced competition slalom skiers. The resort has a 25 m pool, sauna, jacuzzi, pro shop and restaurant that serves buffet breakfasts as well as lunch and dinner.
Walking towards the northwest in an abrupt area near Poros we find this famous wild beautiful natural environment. The river flows furiously through a deep canyon.
