GreeceПорос1834Military sites

A complex of stone warehouses and bakeries in a bay west of Poros town, built by Russia in 1834 as a supply station for its Aegean squadron: provisions and coal were stored and ship's biscuit was baked here. The station remained Russian until 1900, when it was transferred to Greece for the Hellenic Navy. In 1989 the Greek Ministry of Culture listed the buildings as a monument with a 100-metre protection zone; the ruins of the main building survive.

Комплекс каменных складов и пекарен в бухте к западу от города Порос, построенный российской стороной в 1834 году как база снабжения эскадры в Эгейском море: здесь хранили припасы и уголь и пекли сухари. База оставалась российской до 1900 года, когда была передана Греции для нужд греческого военного флота. В 1989 году Министерство культуры Греции объявило постройки памятником с охранной зоной 100 метров; сохранились руины главного здания.
