Spetses Marina

Spetses Marina sits in the heart of this car-free Saronic island, putting you steps from the pretty waterfront of Dapia, the island's main hub, with its neoclassical architecture, waterside cafes, and horse-drawn carriages clip-clopping along the promenade. It's got an effortlessly relaxed, old-money feel that sets Spetses apart from the busier Saronic islands. The island's rich maritime heritage — it played a serious role in the Greek War of Independence — gives the whole place a depth you don't always find this close to Athens.
