DAY 1

Dapia Harbour & Mansions

8 km Β· 15 min πŸŒ™ Sleep: Spetses Town

Dapia Harbour
10:00

Bouboulina's Museum

The mansion of Laskarina Bouboulina, the female admiral who commanded a Greek fleet in the War of Independence. Guided tours include her remarkable personal story. One of the most interesting small museums in Greece.

Spetses Mexis Museum

The Archaeological Museum in the mansion of Hadjigiannis Mexis, the first governor of Spetses. Local archaeology, shipping history and the preserved head of Bouboulina.

14:00

Agia Marina Beach πŸ– beach card Β· wind & conditions β†’

The closest beach to the town β€” a short pebble beach with good facilities and very clear water. 20 minutes walk or 5 minutes by horse-drawn carriage.

🍽 Dinner Β· Old Harbour Patralis on Kounoupitsa has served seafood for 80+ years from its waterside veranda; Orloff in the Old Harbour (an 1802 building) is the upscale table β€” whole fish deboned at your table.
πŸŒ™ Evening No cars, so the night is a stroll. It starts around the Dapia harbour and the lanes toward Agios Mamas β€” Bikini Cocktail Bar near the old harbour for creative cocktails, Spetsa Bar for 60s–70s vinyl and a wall of whiskies. Refined and low-key rather than loud.
DAY 2

The Coastal Loop

28 km Β· 60 min
09:30

Anargyrios School

The grand neoclassical boarding school where John Fowles taught in the 1950s β€” the setting for his novel The Magus. The building is visible from the coast road, a beautiful sight.

Spetses Town β€” Departure

Ferry to Piraeus, Hydra or the Argolid coast (Kosta, 10 minutes across the strait).
