With its rich maritime history, white-coloured mansions, and pine-clad hills, Spetses exudes an effortless elegance that has long attracted people from all around the world. Spetses is also just 54 nautical miles from Athens, making it a perfect addition to an ultimate yachting trip in Greece.

Drop anchor at the old harbour of Spetses, Dapia, also its main port of entry. Here, the Poseidonion Grand Hotel, a century-old landmark that once welcomed silver-screen legends like Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe, sets the scene for the island’s aristocratic air. For a truly immersive experience, time your visit during Armata, the annual festival in September that commemorates the island’s historic naval victory with a spectacular sea battle reenactment and fireworks. The old town is also car-free, with offers of traditional rides in horse-drawn carriages.

Along the coastline reveals a mix of lively beaches and secluded coves. Zogeria Beach is a must-visit, with its serene blue-green waters framed by a dense pine forest, while Agia Paraskevi offers pristine sands away from the crowds. For a deeper dive into Spetses' maritime past, stop at Bouboulina’s Museum, which is dedicated to Greece’s revolutionary heroine, Laskarina Bouboulina, the sole female admiral in naval history.
