10 Glorious Minutes of Poros

A quick look at my new love in Greece -- Poros island! This is an excellent video because it is narrated during the island tour! ;-)

Me on Poros


Poros is also the first Greek isle I visited -- brief as it was in October 2005. Thus far I have only been to the islands of Poros, Hydra, Aegina, and lived on Santorini and been there many times…I want to see so many more. Here's my list for starters (although I know out of Greece's *6,000 islands, there are dozens I would like to visit):

Zakynthos
Milos
Kefalonia
Lefkada
Ithaki
Mykonos
Patmos
Skiathos
Skopelos
Spetses
Ios
Koufonisia

*Greece has 6,000 islands in total, scattered in the Aegean and Ionian Seas, of which only 227 are inhabited.

  2. Ginger this is great, I am so happy for you. When you go to Kephalonia please go to Assos and Myrthos beaches and to Melissani Cave lake. Milos is also beautiful with the doors and windows painted in different colours. I hope to travel to Greece next year and would like to see you. I am Lina Herzig, Linaki for the Greek friends.
