On the coastal road of Poros, between Mikro Neorion and Aspros Gatos (White Cat), you can see a red house. Villa Galini is an elegant neoclassical villa that hosted writers and artists. The house was designed by the Olympic medalist and significant Greek architect Anastasios Metaxas. Metaxas was the architect who restored the Panathenaic Stadium. He designed the Benaki Museum, Syngrou hospital and other famous buildings of Athens.

This pretty pine-shaded cove is one of Poros’s best-loved beaches for romance and fun. The picture-perfect setting is completed by a small church with religious murals painted by Spyros Vasileiou on the adjacent Diamantopoulou estate.
