Tips for the Piraeus–Spetses Ferry
- A lightweight drybag or small tote is worth tucking into your luggage – it earns its keep on beach days in Spetses and doubles as your carry-all on the crossing itself when your main bag stays at the accommodation.
- If the sea is lively, keep an eye on your belongings before you step away from your seat. Bags shift, bottles roll, and a wet deck turns a minor spill into a slip hazard.
- Once you step ashore at 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.
