Modi, Archaeological island in Poros Municipality, Greece
Modi is a small island in the Saronic Gulf with rocky cliffs and Mediterranean vegetation covering its entire surface. The exposed rock formations contain traces of ancient settlements from different periods.
The island was inhabited during several periods of ancient Greek civilization and shows traces of different cultures and trade networks. It was later designated as a protected archaeological site to preserve these remains.
Archaeological excavations on Modi have uncovered numerous artifacts that demonstrate the connection between ancient maritime trade and local settlements.
Modi is best reached by boat from nearby Poros, with more frequent departures during the warmer months. The best time to visit is between spring and autumn, when conditions are stable and boat services run more reliably.
The combination of marine biodiversity surrounding Modi and its archaeological sites creates an intersection of natural and historical preservation zones.
