Spetses. The island of fragrances!

Known since antiquity for the intoxicating scents of pine trees, Spetses today is a Greek hidden treasure. Secluded coves, clear waters, superyachts next to traditional wooden fishing boats and breath-taking sunsets are all found in this island which has a very important place in Greece’s War of Independence.

Beautiful white-colored mansions with ceramic roof tiles, built with the distinctive local architecture are the trademarks of our villa offerings in Spetses.

VILLAS IN SPETSES

What is the first thing you want to do in your beautiful villa terrace in Spetses? Inhale deeply! The “island of perfumes”, as it was named by the Venetians or “Pityousa” (which in ancient Greek means “full of pine trees”) is a beautiful island with several wonderful sandy beaches and lovely secluded bays.

The island played an important role in the Greek Revolution against the Ottoman rule and the subsequent birth of the modern Greek State. When the Greek Revolution broke out in 1821, Spetses was the first to raise the flag of the Revolution.

On Spetses, cars have almost been totally banned, which means extremely clean air and a general sense of quiet. Visitors can commute by scooter, bicycle or horse. Actually, one of the first things you see when you get off the boat is a queue of antiquated horse and carts, signaling an escape from modern rhythms!
