The Argosaronic islands are jewels that adorn the two gulfs, the Argolic and Saronic, with their exquisite beauty. Lucky are the Athenians who can escape to them, far from the noisy city. In this book we offer a guide to beautiful Spetses, verdant and picturesque. Spetses, at the entrance of the Argosaronic gulf, is an island with a great nautical tradition and which played an important role with its fleet in the struggle of the Greeks against the Turkish yoke. Verdant Spetses is just three hours by ferry from Piraeus. If, however, the journey is done with the hydrofoil, then its duration is reduced to about a third. Spetses is an ideal destination for a few days’ break.
