It is time to start another thread on Poros, mostly to glorify this wonderful early vacation spot of the Athenians.
First I offer two smaller photos that the Tourist Office of Poros had issued in the 1920s
Poros 1934a.jpgPoros 1934b.jpg
And here is a 1960s photo from a favorite source: Leonidas Kouvaris' Nea Eikonografimeni Geografia Atlas tis Ellados (New Illustrated Geography and Atlas of Greece, Syropouloi bros and Koumandareas, publishers, Panepistimiou 44, Athens

Undated Poros postcard but I guess it is from the early 1950s

These are some nice postcards from the late 1950s

And I will close with something that might be appreciated by some friends. it is a travel logbook by Konstantinos Skokos from his visit to Poros and Troizinia in 1866. It appeared in the Skokos Diary of 1866.

I believe you are right. It is Neraida. Here is the schedule from Aug 29, 1953. I wonder when she started in this run...

A much more recent photograph of Methana, from 1972, as published in Leonidas Kouvaris' Encyclopedia and Atlas of Greece (Spyropouloi & Koumandareas, Athens, 1964)

Here is a nice, small article about a hotel in Poros on July 7, 1897 (newspaper Embros). Please note the dithyrambic statements about Bosphorus and Switzerland...

This photograph is from an August 1995 insert (Seven Days) of Kathimerini in honor of Greek lighthouses. It is from Poros. What's the ferry?

I am uploading a number of color photographs that were given to me by a friend. Most of them are from Greek tourist guides for foreigners.
Here is one from 1990 showing an Epirotiki ship at the port of Poros. It is from Y. Desypris, 777 Wonderful Greek Islands, Toubi's Editions, Glyfada, 1994
