Things to Do in Spetses: Local Guide
The car-free Saronic island of Spetses is famous for its elegant neoclassical mansions, horse-drawn carriages, and the pine forests that fringe its cobblestone harbour. The island's key role in the 1821 Greek War of Independence and the Spetses Museum give it real historical resonance beyond its beauty.
