Information on Spetses island:
Spetses Island Greece is the southernmost of the Greek Argo Saronic islands. Spetses is an attractive pine-clad island that is not huge, but big enough to offer a range of activities to keep everyone happy. Secluded, hidden coves with sparkling clear seas or beaches close to waterfront hotels and pensions; lots of tavernas to choose from.
Only 2.5 - 3.5 hours from Piraeus by Flying Dolphin or Euroseas' Eurofast Catamaran; 4.5 hours by large ferry; by car, you can drive through the Peloponnese to Kosta (approximately 2 hours from the airport, on the new motorway) leave your car at the secure car park and take the 15 minute ferry trip to Spetses. Cars in Spetses town are banned and those on the island are limited to residents only who can only use them out of town and with a permit. You can rent a bicycle or a motorbike, take a bus, taxi, caique, water taxi, or horse buggy. From Villa Spetses, you can do almost everything on foot.
Additional info on the property:
Villa Spetses is a renovated traditional house, in the real Spetses style. Our children have spent numerous days in this house and garden during our holidays, so it's a very secure environment for the young. Due to its location in the centre of the Old Harbor, it is very convenient for those with children who do not want to walk uphill in the steep Spetses streets in the summer heat. The property itself is wheelchair accessible, but the bedrooms are on the first floor, connected via a staircase, so access is unfortunately not possible. You can enjoy a meal either in the inside dining area, or outside at the veranda above the kitchen, or the 250sq meter garden, which also has a fully protected area of around 15sq meters.
Additional Services:
Meet and Greet Service: upon arrival on the island, you will be met by us and escorted to the property. A taxi-pickup service upon arrival can be arranged (if required, you can also walk to the house, luggage-permitted!).
Upon arrival at the house, you will find a very useful printed guide we have put together for visitors on the island. This lists recommended places to visit as well as information on the island and facilities. It is available in English and French.
Normal bed sheet/towel change and house cleaning service is every 4 days.
More frequent services are available upon request.
