Methana to Spetses Route Map
Methana to Spetses takes an hour and a quarter to a little over an hour and a half with Magic Sea Ferries, aboard the Magic 2 or Magic 3. The catamarans run the full length of the Saronic chain, calling at Poros and Hydra along the way, which accounts for the spread in journey times. Water on this stretch is sheltered by the Peloponnese coast and generally calm.
Spetses is the most polished of the Saronic islands, with restricted motor traffic, horse-drawn carriages in the old town and rows of neoclassical mansions. Boats come in at the Dapia, the historic harbour with its landmark cannon battery and grand captains' houses. Beaches ring the island and the sailing scene is a large part of its appeal.
Departures run roughly daily in the high season, less often at either end of the year. The live timetable and fares appear below. Spetses is also a five-minute crossing from Porto Heli on the mainland, which is useful if you are driving down rather than island hopping.

Tips for the Methana to Spetses ferry
- The bow (front) of the vessel experiences the most pitching in head-on swells; the stern tends to be smoother when seas are rough.
- Air conditioning inside Greek ferries can be set very cold, especially in summer – keep a light layer in your day bag even in hot weather.
- Most ferries have a small play area or supervised children's zone on larger vessels; ask crew on boarding if you are travelling with very young children.
- Seasickness is more common on high-speed catamarans than on conventional ferries – if you are susceptible, take medication 30–60 minutes before boarding.
- Once you arrive in Spetses, the island's car-free centre and horse-drawn carriage transport give it an elegance and calm that sets it apart among the Saronic islands. The Spetses Museum of History and Tradition offers insight into the island's proud role in the Greek War of Independence, and the pine-shaded coastline is dotted with appealing beaches.
