Beaches
with strawcoloured sand and shiny pebbles,
both in the town and at the many small bays around the island are
available for visitors to enjoy themselves in their clean cool sapphire
waters. For those who wish to combine the convenience and entertainment of
the town with their swim, there are beautiful blue beaches all along the
town of Spetses.
The
beaches of Aghia Marina, Aghios Mammas, Aghios Nicholaos, Kounoupitsa and
the College are provided for this purpose. Outside the town, there are
many beautiful organised beaches where you can enjoy swimming, sea sports
and also have lunch or a cocktail.
Starting at the northeast side of the island and
heading northwest, we come to Xylokerisa beach and then Aghioi Anargyroi
with its small summer community. There is regular bus service for these
beaches from May until the end of September, with the departure point at
the square of Ag. Mammas.
Continuing, we come to the beach of Aghia Paraskevi,
which is lined with pine trees and is considered to be one of the most
beautiful of the island.
The last beach on the northwest side of the island
is Zogeria, from where you can gaze at the Peloponnesian coast, whilst
enjoying your lunch at the traditional taverna.
All of the above mentioned beaches can be reached
easily by road or sea.
There are also many small bays around the island which can only be reached
by boat.
