Poros of Kefalonia, was, in early times, a fishermen's village. It was inhabited after the eartquake of the Ionian islands between 9 and 15 of August 1953!
Its name means "pass across/pass through". It has almost 1.000 people and is 19 metres above the sea. It is surrounded by the Ionian sea and the mount of "Atros", an extension of the mount "Ainos" (it means "anthem" and is 1.628 m. high).
From 1962 is a National Park. Ainos is mentionned in Homer' s Odysseia.
The whole village is good for bicycle and long walks from one side to the other. It is divided in three neighborhoods: "Aragia", where the house is), "Leukes" and "Sarakiniko" at the other side of the island, on the mountain which dominates the port.
Two ferries boats make the route between Kyllini and Kefalonia: "Andreas Kalvos" and "Fioro di Levante". They are both luxurious. The trip lasts 1.30 hours.

Τhe roman rural villa of Skala- half an hour far from Poros with an exquisite sea- built the 2nd c. and burnt the 4th c. It was discovered the 1957. It is very near the sea, on a hill. A torrent flew underneath and one could reach it through a wooden bridge.
It has excellent mosaics : on an altar a bull is ready to be sacrificed. A ram and a wild boar are also on the altar. The direction of the foam revealed the Gods' will. The rest was eaten on a feast similar to the popular feasts of our days.
Another mosaic represents the ENVY which is lashed out and devoured by four beasts - a lion, a panther, a leopard.
It is open from 9.00 to 15.00 except Monday.
