The "lagoon" of Poros
...
... along
with fantastic weather conditions and mild
winds provide a magnificent training center,
which is the ideal place for nautical sports
activities.
The main reason for highly developed water
sports in Poros is because it provides great
infrastructure, facilities, schools and clubs
for learning and training.
Rowing competitions are
held
annually in Poros in which many organizations
took part from different areas, therefore,
making it a special event. Various prominent
Greek and foreign oarsmen have trained in
Poros.
There are two nautical associations, N.O.P.T. and ONAT,
and two water ski schools in Neorio and Askeli.
From N.O.P.T., Dimitri
Mougios became a
Silver medalist in the rowing competition
in the 2008 Beijing Olympics .
