Spetses Reviews -General

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 Spetses is not white but grey.

The loveliest spot is Dapia, the new harbour with all those small cafes on top of the walls. In Spetses, I noticed that there are not as many gift shops as in other islands. Apart from some in Dapia, I didn't see any other.

To go to the beaches in Spetses, you take the bus or the boat. We tried Vrellos and Agia Marina. The inland of Spetses is also nice and I was told there was a monastery, but didn't visit it. Also worth is to visit the museum of Bouboulina only 5 minutes walk from the port. It is a good chance to see a traditional house from the inside. She was a local heroine and a fighter in the Greek Revolution.
