Region
Traditionally a discerning holiday destination for wealthy city dwellers in Athens, the Greek island of Spetses attracts summer visitors from across Europe and beyond. No wonder with its grand architecture, rich heritage, local traditions and picturesque beaches.
The island is located in the Saronic Gulf off the Peloponnese coast, reached via passenger ferries from Kosta/Porto Heli or by high-speed services from Piraeus in Athens. As visitor cars cannot be brought on to the island, bikes are a fantastic way to explore (scooters are also popular but be aware of certain restrictions). Alternatively, indulge in water taxis to transport you around the island’s shores or to truly travel in style, look out for horse-drawn carriages by the harbourfront.
You will arrive into Dapia, a bustling port with historic canons and a handsome seafront leading east towards the old harbour. Pass grand houses dating back to the 18th century when the island traded under Ottoman rule and watch the world go by from a café terrace facing the sea – it’s especially beautiful strolling by the seafront at dusk.
Shop to your heart’s delight in boutiques scattered across the old town, try traditional Greek dishes in welcoming tavernas and fresh seafood in upmarket restaurants. As night nears, stop off in a bar overlooking the sea for a cocktail as you soak up the ambience of summer life on the island. All accompanied by the bold colours of jasmine, hibiscus and bougainvillea.
Behind Dapia’s harbour is the impressive Bouboulina Museum that celebrates the life of Admiral Laskarina Bouboulina, a heroine in the in the 19th century Greek War of Independence. In the other direction, just inland from Agios Mamas and its pretty Greek orthodox church, is the equally fascinating Museum of Spetses, housed in a 200-year mansion allowing you to learn all about the island’s varied history.
Visitors are also enchanted by Spetses’ beaches from the likes of Paralia Agia Marina just south of the main town and Kaiki Beach with sun beds and watersports to the more remote Vrellos Beach and Paralia Zogeria. Alternatively, sail to tiny coves and hidden bays across the western coast for turquoise-coloured sea and idyllic scenery - Paralia Agia Paraskevi is a particular favourite.
During your stay in Spetses, look out for an array of events and festivities. The Aegean Film Festival takes place in July and the internationally renowned island marathon is held in October each year. If staying in August, join in the local celebrations on 15th August as the Greek Orthodox Church celebrate Virgin Mary. The Armata Festival in September is another great experience with many traditional events including a spectacular re-enactment of the naval battle against the early 19th century Ottoman fleets.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesWhen staying at Villa Spetses, there's plenty to keep your kids entertained. They can splash and play all day in the private swimming pool, with no restricted hours. Inside, the villa offers a dedicated family living space equipped with a flat-screen TV, DVDs, books, games, and even a chess set for cooler days or evenings. The fenced garden provides a safe and private area for children to play.
For beach days, head to Agios Mamas, just a 600-metre walk away, where shallow waters await. Explore the island's sandy beaches, water sports, and charming coves. Enjoy family outings on horse-drawn carriages to local museums, churches, and beaches, or join in the excitement of the yacht regatta in June or the Armata Festival in September.
Keep active with walking and hiking trails, discovering local flora, fauna, and traditions. Let the kids ride ponies at nearby stables or try paddle boating and windsurfing for older ones. Take a ferry to Porto Heli for shopping, dining, and open-air cinema nights under the stars. And don't forget to explore further afield with island hopping adventures from the nearby port.

Hopefully we will get back there before too long
Our extended family group of 7 stayed at the Villa on Spetses for a week. The Villa is about a 7 minute walk from the centre of town (uphill on the way back), very convenient for everything. We were able to get groceries delivered and the local rep Dimitris was super helpful and responsive. The Villa itself is beautiful with lots of space for everyone, a beautiful pool and nice shaded areas. We had a fantastic week, everyone loved it.

The Villa was wonderful!
We were 2 families with 6 kids in total and it was perfect for us. The house is more of a home than a house that tries to be a hotel so it’s comfortable and welcoming. It is spacious and very clean. Our kids were in the pool most of the day and there was plenty of room to have personal space. We will definitely be back! Thank you for a wonderful week!
