Located on the Greek island of Cephalonia, or Kefalonia, part of the Ionian group of islands, is the small town of Poros. The town is made up of three parts. In the port area of the town there are a few bars and tavernas. The port provides connections to Kyllini on the Peloponnese area of mainland Greece and to the island of Zakynthos during the summer months. The second area, away from the port, is the town beach which is comprised of a town square which is lined with tavernas and shops. The third area is Aragia which is separated from the centre of the town by the Vohinas River.
Poros and its surrounding area generally remains fairly uncrowded and is a good place for relaxing on the beach or for walking or hiking. A great attraction to visit, especially to hikers, is the oldest monastery on the island. The walk of around 3 km takes you along the beach in a north westerly direction which you then follow the path up into the mountains of Atros. At the end of the path is the monastery of the Virgin Mary which sits atop a 500 m high hill. Once at the monastery there are fantastic views to be had. The slow pace of the town has managed to retain its Greek atmosphere and it is generally regarded as a fairly down to earth sort of town. This is great for visitors because prices tend to be lower here than elsewhere.
The Greek island of Ithaca lies in the Ionian Sea and is one of the Ionian group of islands. The island is famous as the mythical island of Odysseus and has a laid back atmosphere surrounded by crystal clear waters. The small island is popular with all visitors but especially so with families or couples who find many things to do including swimming in the island's warm waters, trekking along the island's paths or simply enjoying a meal of locally caught fresh fish in a taverna. Some of the best beaches on the island are Filiatro, Sarakiniko and Agios Ioannis although there are other, more secluded, beaches to explore. In the evening a popular way to wind down from the day's activities is to walk along the promenade of Vathy and then to enjoy a lovely drink under the night sky.
From the island, ferries operate to Kefalonia, Astakos and Patra.
