In the historical island of Spetses - Spetses Island

Small, cosmopolitan, historic, cultural and full of natural beauties Spetses island inspired many artists. It belongs to the group of islands of Saronic Gulf. In ancient times, it was called Pityousa which means “full of pines”. Its present name was probably given by the Venetian who called the island “Isola di Spezzie” which means “island of fragrances” due to its many aromatic plants. Just ideal for long weekends:))
