Pine-scented Spetses is an upscale and relaxed island that attracts more affluent Athenians than foreign tourists. With its rich seafaring culture, this little island is also hugely popular with the yachting crowd. This is one of the most cosmopolitan destinations in Greece, with beautiful Neoclassical buildings sitting on its fine squares and horse-drawn carriages roaming its pretty streets. Take a stroll from the main port of Dapia to the lighthouse in the Old Harbor, or visit the traditional Spetses Shipyards – the only ones in Greece that have been in operation since the War of Independence. You’ll find exquisite fine dining options at the Poseidonion Grand and the Nissia Hotel, and there are plenty of vibrant bars and clubs to explore in the Old Harbor area of Baltiza.
