Where to swim
Wake up early and find your favourite cove. These are the ones we always return to:
Agia Paraskevi – Turquoise water and pine trees dipping into the sea.
Paralia Agii Anargiri – A beautiful, sandy beach with a cosy Greek taverna called Manolis.
Paralia Xilokeriza – Secluded and stunning, best reached by scooter.
Zogeria – A calm bay perfect for swimming and grabbing a quick bite at the local taverna.
Vrelos Beach – A lively yet laid-back beach surrounded by lush pine forest - ideal for an afternoon swim and sun-soaked lounging.
Lovers Cove - a very remote, natural beach.
Where to eat
Favourite lunch spots
Manolis (at Agia Anargiri Beach, ~20 min drive) – A simple taverna by the beach, serving Greek classics.
Kaiki Beach – Think beachside bites, chilled music, cocktails and a post-lunch dip.
Bikini – Great for brunch, coffee, or checking emails between swims.
Paradise Beach – Elevated, fresh Greek fare with your feet in the sand.
Tiramisu – A laid-back spot for a late-morning espresso or sweet treat.
Dinner & Drinks

Other things to explore
Discover Hydra
If you’re thinking of extending your trip, we highly recommend checking out Hydra, which is only a 30-minute ferry ride away. You can easily head over, spend a few hours exploring, and return to Spetses on the same day.
Spend the day discovering its galleries (Hydra is known for its art scene), browsing small boutiques, enjoying a long lunch, or diving into the sea from the cliffs.
