Russian Bay Beach Poros

Russian Bay is a sandy beach on Poros named for the ruins of a nineteenth-century naval base that still stand on the shore. The water is very calm and clear because the bay is well-protected from the winds. It features a mix of sand and fine pebbles with a view of the small island of Daskalio across the water. The beach is partially organized with a bar and sunbeds, but the main draw is the historical stone architecture. The surrounding hills are covered in pine trees that provide a green frame to the blue sea. It is a destination for those who appreciate history and a quiet swimming environment. The entry into the water is easy and shallow, making it a choice for all swimmers. It is a part of the coast that feels peaceful and reflects the maritime past of the island. Many people enjoy walking among the ruins after their swim.
