Spetses is the southernmost of the Saronic Gulf islands and is easily reached by daily ferryboat from Piraeus. Spetses is probably at its most beautiful in the spring months of April and May when there is a feeling of expectation in the air and the streets are lined with wild spring flowers.

Greece offers an idyllic climate, warm sea, a relaxed atmosphere, reasonably priced food and drink, history in abundance and perhaps most attractive of all, the Greek people themselves.

Beaches
You cam find both pebble, snad beaches on the greek island Spetses. The most popular ones are Agia Paraskevi, Ag. Anargzri.

History
Speteses was already inhabited in the third Milenium. Because of its many pine trees, it was called Pyttiousa in ancient Greece, and the islanders seem have been skilled in making and repairing ships.
 
The capital of Spetses is very pretty, and has many old buildings where a strong sailing  tradition can be discerned. The house of Bouboulina is a private museum today which is open to visitors.

The monastery of Ag. Nikolaos (St. Nicholas) is situated just outside Spetses town, and  is open to visitors. Note: you'll have to dress eight in order to visit the nunnery: long  trousers for men, and covered shoulders and long skirts for women. The patron saint of  this monastery is also a patron of sailors, and it was here the Spetsan leaders took the  oath of freedom when the war of Independence was about to break out in 1821.

There are several boats between Pireus and Spetses every day, so the easiest option is  to get a flight to Athens and then take the ferry boat. Spetses is also connected with the other Saronic islands, as well as the Cyclades since the ferryboats continue there.
