Poros is one of the most important ports of Kefalonia, as it connects it daily with Kyllini of the Peloponnese. The village spreads amphitheatrically in three bays and in combination with the green hills that surround it, gives a wonderful image to the visitor approaching the ship. In ancient times Poros was one of the four major cities on the island – that is why Cephalonia was also called Tetrapolis. It was the harbor of the ancient city-state of Proton, which flourished during the Archaic period. In the area you will find archaeological and medieval sights such as the Mycenaean tomb near the village of Tzanata and the old Monastery of Astros, which dates back to 800 AD, as well as very interesting natural sights such as the cave of Draceanus and the great ones rocks in the sea that the legend says the Cyclops were thrown at pirates!

The village is crowned by a wonderful organized beach of almost 2 km long, shallow with small white pebbles. Right next to it is the beach of Aragias or Ragia with very similar features, which often earns a blue flag.

Umbrellas and deck chairs are available on these beaches, but there is plenty of free space available. For those who want more privacy, there are also beaches where access is only by sea, such as the famous Koutsoupias beach. The rich vegetation of the area is reflected in the waters, resulting in the characteristic turquoise color of the Ionian Sea. In the area around Poros, both to Skala and to the north to Fiskardo, there are many sea caves where monachus-monachus seals give birth to the rich ecosystem of the region.

Due to the harbor, Poros was one of the first villages in Kefalonia to develop organized tourist infrastructure. Today it has hotels and rooms to let, restaurants and caf?-bar that cater to every need. Easy access to beaches, tourist infrastructure, sightseeing and other islands make Poros a very attractive option for guests who do not want to be inconvenienced in any way, especially for families with children.
