HISTORICAL POROS

There are two notable historical sites on the island : the remains of the Temple of Poseidon, the god of the sea, dating from 500 B.C., discovered and excavated
by Swedish archaeologists, and the 15th century Monastery, Zoodhohos Piyi, "The Godmother's Cloister", the burial site of two Greek liberation army heroes, Apostolis and Tombazis.
