		<title>General: Loved the long walks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We arrived by the hydrofolis from Piraeus at the port of Spetses called Dapia. The temperature hovered around 26 degrees C and everything seemed set for a perfect holiday. Everything about the island from the pine forests to the horse traps that move about the harbor front lend a romantic and laidback feel to the island. 

Interestingly, cars are not allowed in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.greeka.com/...]]> </description>

		<title>General: Lovely place</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The most impressive fact in Spetses was that we had to travel on donkeys from the port to our hotel. The houses in Spetses have traditional architecture and most are built of stone. No compare with Cyclades and their white houses. The colour that dominates in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.greeka.com/saronic/spetses/index.htm&quot; class=&quot;greeka&quot;&gt;Spetses&lt;/a&gt; is not white but grey.

		<title>General: Different yet romantic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The most beautiful part of Spetses is Dappia, the port, with the small canons around and the lovely cafeterias. This is a great spot especially with the soft lights at night. 

No vehicles are allowed on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.greeka.com/saronic/spetses/index.htm&quot; class=&quot;greeka&quot;&gt;Spetses&lt;/a&gt;, except for the public bus that goes around the island, bikes and motorbikes. Be prepared to walk a lot, b...]]> </description>

		<title>General: Take few clothes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had heard a lot about Spetses from a friend who has a summer house there and spent a couple of days there in June. As it was early season and the middle of week, we had the island for ourselves. Trip from Athens is easy and very fast by hydrofoil. Do not take much luggage because it may be unconvient for the trip and as there are no taxis on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.greeka.com/saronic/spetses/inde...]]> </description>

		<title>General: Nice cocktail island</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Spetses doesn't have good beaches or strong nightlife. But it has lovely architecture with impressive old buildings and one of the best cocktail spots in Greece. The port of Spetses is called Dapia and is surrounded by beautiful bars and cafes. To have a drink at night in these bars is a wonderful experience. If you are with a boyfriend, it gets very romantic. I loved the horse carriages, they ...]]> </description>

		<title>General: A long weekend is enough</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The hydrofoil to Spetses was very fast and accurate but a bit pricey. The island is beautiful, although it was small. There is not much to see, so I would suggest to go for a long weekend or at least no more than 5 days. Beaches are nice but I have seen better in other Greek islands. You go to the beaches by taxi boat from the town. The atmosphere on the island is relaxing and horse carriages m...]]> </description>

		<title>General: Ride a horse carriage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I had a few days left before my holidays end, I went for a weekend to Spetses. It was my first time there. The island is small but very picturesque. Old mansions all over the town, paved streets and a lot of horse carriages are the main characteristics of Spetses. Riding a horse carriage is the best thing to do. It feels like you are a princess in the Medieval Times. My favourite place was t...]]> </description>

		<title>General: Picturesque and busy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Spetses is a small island but it has enough to keep you busy for a week, or at least for a long weekend. Close to Athens and well connected, so you will not face troubles in transportations. The port is very picturesque and I liked it ever more at nights, with the small lights like candles. Best beaches Agia Paraskevi and Agia Marina. Go to the beaches by taxi boats. The special thing is that o...]]> </description>

		<title>General: You have to visit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Spetses is a historical island for Greece.
The people of the island in 1821 where a a part of the war.
Every year, in early September, they celebrate it with a festival called Armata. 
One of the very nice parts of the island is Palio Limani, the old port, that's where the night meets the day, beacause all the night clubs are in that area.
Another place that is nice and my favorite is Zoger...]]> </description>

		<title>General: A place to relax</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Spetses is a place where you can relax. It would be better to go by FlyingCat, as Dolphins are not that good. There are very nice beaches on Spetses and reall good fish restaurants by the sea. Xilokeriza was my best beach. It is good to rent a motorbike in order to travel around the island. Spetses has many beauties to see.]]> </description>

		<title>General: Reduce motorbike traffic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Spetses is a lovely island where we have had many good holidays. We have several Greek friends and we are always made welcome. We do think however that the beaches have become more commercialised  with too many sun beds and people pestering you to buy drinks etc. We preferred Spetses as it was a pure quiet Greek island. We also were surprised at the amount of

		<title>General: Too much walking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Spetses is a very small and nice island but I personally didn't like that I had to do so much walking around it. I am used to using cars or taxis, 
so I found it hard to walk from village to village or in the night looking for our hotel in total dark, as in some areas there was no street light at all. We rented bikes for a couple of days, but this was difficult too. However, the vibe of the is...]]> </description>

		<title>General: Spetses nightlife</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In Spetses I stayed with a friend whose family has a house there. I didn't like the beaches very much since they were almost all isolate but the nightlife was much fun. Try Socrates and Kalia bars! Very nice music and fun people. Also try fish a la spetsiota in any local tavern, delicious!!]]> </description>

		<title>General: Move around by horse-carriages</title>

The island is lovely and looks like living in the old times. The food was ok but I found coffee a bit expensive. The nicer beaches on Spetses were on the back side of the island and you have to catch a boat to go there. Remember that no cars are allow...]]> </description>

		<title>General: Easily accessible and friendly people</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What I liked most on Spetses? The fact that there are no cars; easily accessible; friendly people; everything was in close proximity; the horse-and-carriage rides.
Food was good- except very expensive for coffee and cake. The food prices were fine as the quality was good. Tip for future visitors: Catch the boats to take you to the back of the island were there are nicer beaches.]]> </description>
