TOP OF CHAPTER
Around Spetses
Spetses' gorgeous coastline undulates with pebbly coves and small pine-shaded beaches.
A 26km surfaced road skirts the entire coastline, so a scooter, quad or bicycle are ideal
for exploring. A detailed map is a must for inland explorers: download (

tp://spetsesdiadromes.wordpress.com
) or buy the detailed map (€3.50 at newsstands).
Tiny, tranquil
Xylokeriza
on the southwest coast has a souvlaki kiosk with yummy,
fresh salads and delicious oven potatoes.
Further along, the popular, long, pebbly
Agia Paraskevi
and the sandier
Agii Anargyri
have picturesque, albeit crowded, beaches. Both have tavernas and water sports of every
description and are served by boats and buses in summer. At the north end of Anargyri,
you can follow a small path to submerged, swimmable
Bekiris Cave
.
Other beautiful spots include
Vrellos
and
Zogheria
beaches.
Closer to town,
Agia Marina
is a small resort with a beach that gets packed. The beach
at
Ligoneri
, about 2.5km northwest of Spetses Town, is easily reached by bus.
The small island of
Spetsopoula
, off the southern coast, is owned by the Niarchos
family and not open to the public.
