9Spetses (Saronic Gulf)

Where the houses painted white or delicate pastel colors, tiled roofs, gardens home to the bougainvillea blooms – and many of the other beautiful Mediterranean plants. The streets, including the square overlooking the port, are paved with polished white and black stones – where the town-folk travel by horse-drawn carriages, as visitors stroll along the coast line.

In Spetses life goes by slowly, everything is taken care of, elegant architecture and old cafes – it is the island of the great shipowners, therefore the ancient port exudes history and charm. The evenings in Spetses are magical – with the tables lit up by candles, the ancient boats of wood resting along the coastline – making it a truly authentic and secluded island.
