Spetses Island is fairly close to Athens, and you can reach it by taking a ferry or a speedboat from Piraeus Port.

VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW ABOUT SPETSES

- Best Hotel in Spetses: Poseidonion Grand Hotel
- Best Villa in Spetses: Villa Scirocco
- How many days do you need in Spetses: the island is pretty small and apart from the (super cute) old town/port along with a couple of cute beaches there is not much to see and do in Spetses so I would suggest 1 or 2 nights is ideal; you can even visit the island as a daytrip from Athens but it could be a bit tiring
- How to Move Around in Spetses: there are no cars on Spetses to preserve its traditional old town so you either have to walk around or you can get on a water taxi
