The Hellenic Navy Swearing Ceremony which is held every two months, is really impressive and includes a parade and a demonstration.

On June 24, on the day of the celebration of Saint John, the custom of “Klidonas” revives with men, women and youngsters jumping above fires lit on the streets.

Some religious feasts are held in Poros, which include traditional dishes, drinking and dancing. Among them, the feast of Saint Paraskevi in Vagionia, on July 25, is worth attending, since the little church of Saint Paraskevi is very picturesque and dancing, singing and eating last all night long!

Another interesting feast is the one of Panagia Eleousa in Plaka, which is located next to Galatas on the Peloponnese. This feast is held every year on June 4th and little boats transfer visitors from Poros to Plaka, where outdoor vendors, food and music can be found. What is really impressive is the return of visitors to Poros in the night, with the lights of the boats sparkling in the dark.

Last but not least, the museums and galleries of Poros organize interesting events, including art exhibitions, concerts, conferences, etc., on which visitors may be informed via the Municipality of Poros.
