Wednesday, June 23--Poros

Heading back north, we had a short swim stop at an island I am still trying to identify --Kythnos maybe? Greece1 457Only strong swimmers were allowed to go in because of the wind and current, so we stayed on board. We docked in Poros town for the night, separated by only the narrow Strait of Poros from the body of the Peloponnese. You can see remains of a small fortress that used to guard the passage.

Greece1 487 It was really nice to see trees again and there was a lively waterfront here. This island is close enough to Athens to be a day trip. We walked up the hill to the clock tower.Greece1 488
On the way we passed the library, which was closed of course, but still it was the first one we had seen. I also like this picture because I still have my travel purse and prescription sunglasses which were later stolen---grrr! Greece1 490
