Sailboats in Spetses

Spetses got its current name during the Venetian period, because of its many fragrant flowers (Isola di Spezia, meaning island of perfumes) and became one of the strongest naval and commercial powers in the Aegean. The first signs of human existence on the island date back to the Mesolithic era, around 8000 BC. In 1821, with the outbreak of the Greek Revolution, many Spetsiot sailors contributed their considerable naval strength to the struggle, of which the  Laskarina Bouboulina became a prominent figure.

It is worth visiting the island at the beginning of September where the Armatas Festival is held every year, a re-enactment of the 1822 naval battle of Spetses, in which boats participate with fireworks and firecrackers. The events last for a week and on the second weekend of September, Spetses becomes a meeting point for boat owners and yachtsmen who gather to watch the events. Off the coast of Spetses, behind the sailing boats and celebrity yachts, there is always a naval frigate anchored throughout the celebrations to pay tribute to the victory. After the liberation, Spetses did not manage to regain its former commercial and economic power, due to its decision not to use steam in shipping, however, since the beginning of the 20th century the island has shown significant recovery, relying mainly on tourism.

Spetses is a popular destination for a short break. It is less than 2 hours away from Piraeusand is a great escape for those who wish to avoid the big-city noise of Athens. If you have more time, can easily rent a sailboat or yacht from Spetses to visit the nearby islands of the Saronic Gulf. These include  Spetsopoula, which belongs to the Niarchos family, and Dokos, which has only 18 permanent residents. In addition, it is worth renting a sailboat, with or without a captain, to visit the equally cosmopolitan Hydra in less than 2 hours and Porto Heli, which for many is considered the Riviera of Greece!

Sailing in Spetses will allow you to discover many beaches with ease. Agios Mammas, Agia Paraskevi, Vrellos, and Agia Marina are some excellent choices. You may also enjoy a cruise to several destinations around the Argolic Gulf, such as Tolo and Nafplio. With so many beautiful places to visit, Spetses continues to be a magnet for the yachting set.
