ADVICES
Lucky are the lovers of peace, because
cars are infrequent on the island. So, here you can enjoy others ways of transport
as bicycles and horse-drawn carriages, which give a special charm to the place.
If you want to travel through the whole island the best idea is to take one
water taxi or rent a bicycle, although there are buses to the most part of
beaches of the island. Using the Flying Dolphin you can reach Naphlion and
from Spetses you can plan excursions to others sites of the Peloponisos.
COMMUNICATIONS
If you use the Ferry from Piraeus to
go to the Spetses, at least it is going to take you five hours, unless you
take the Flying Dolphin arriving in half time.
Using some ships you can arrive in the
Agios George beach in 20 minutes.
SIGHTS
The center of the life is located around
the old harbour, in this old wooden harbour the nightlife has its peak and
there you can take the Water-taxis.
Sights worth seeing on Spetses are the
house of the Revolutionary heroine Bouboulina; the Mexis house, now a museum;
and the church of Agia Triada (18th century) with its carved iconostasis.
BEACHES
The lack of natural water in this island
makes that the houses are around the port, where the ships with water arrives.
So, in this island the beaches are almost as desert as the countryside. For
the sun lovers the most popular beaches are Agii Anargyri and Agia Paraskevi.
