Spetses Reviews -General

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 make it romantic. The old port is a nice place to enjoy a drink at night and see the small lights of the fishing boats in the harbour. The locals are calm people. Most of them don't speak English, except if they are young, but you will have no problem in communication. Body language and gestures are pretty effective in such cases.
