Private Excursion at Spetses Island
Instead of just transferring you to Piraeus Port to catch the ferry, you will have the chance to kick back and enjoy the drive along the Saronic Gulf to the edge of Argolic region. We will catch the ferry to cosmopolitan Spetses from the port of Kosta.
Boasting a naval tradition, SPETSES is known for her significant contribution during the 1821 War of Independence against the Ottoman Empire!
A serene idyllic spice island, feeling like the French Riviera, you will be enchanted by the neoclassical houses and villas, doomed churches fringed by cafes, traditional tavernas lining the road and stylish boutiques!
Take a romantic trip around the island on a horse-drawn carriage admiring the grand mansions adoring the narrow cobbled streets. Dapia,the main port is surrounded by cannons and provides a romantic place for a day coffee or an evening drink. You will enjoy long promenades both in the sea and country side.
The smell of the sea and the secluded beaches will therapeutically captivate you!
