Why visit Spetses?
Spetses demands to be explored on foot, bicycle, or by horse-drawn carriage, as private cars are banned within the historic main town. Begin at the Old Harbor, known locally as Palio Limani, where traditional wooden boatwrights still ply their trade using centuries-old shipbuilding techniques. Just uphill stands the grand Laskarina Bouboulina Museum, housed in the 17th-century mansion of the female naval commander who funded the Greek War of Independence. Stroll along the pebble mosaic pathways of Dapia, the main port square named after the antique cannons still pointing out toward the Argolic Gulf.
Culinary traditions here are deeply tied to the sea and local harvests. Order a plate of *amygdalota*, the traditional almond-paste sweets wrapped in powdered sugar that Spetses is famous for, best paired with Greek coffee at a table overlooking the Kounoupitsa coast. For dinner, secure a table at Baltiza restaurant right on the water in Palio Limani to feast on *kakavia*, a traditional fisherman's soup made with the catch of the day, fresh tomatoes, and olive oil. Spend your afternoons swimming off the pine-shaded shores of Agia Paraskevi beach before catching the sunset near the historic Spetses Hotel.
