Getting there

If you need help with arranging the transfer or booking taxis, please reach out to our wedding planner Argiro at (+30) 694 895 7398.

By Ferry

Fly into Athens International Airport, then take a taxi or Uber (~50 min) to Piraeus Port. From there, hop on a ferry to Spetses (Alpha Lines or Hellenic Seaways, Gate E8) - about 1.5 hours. You can book tickets via ferryhopper.com. (€60)

By Car & Sea Taxi:

Drive or arrange a transfer (~3 hours) from Athens International Airport to Kosta Port on the Peloponnese coast. From there, it’s a quick sea taxi ride to Spetses.

Option 1: Book a transfer with Heli Cars (+30) 694 2518040 (they’ll pick you up from the airport). The transfer costs approx: €250. Good to share with friends

Option 2: Rent a car, drive to Kosta Port and leave it on the mainland in a car park (parking costs approx. 5 EUR/day).

From Kosta Port:

From there, take a 5–10 minute sea taxi or the public ferry to Spetses:

  • Sea taxis run 24/7 - approx. 30 EUR, +30 22980- 72072

  • Public ferry (’Spetses Express’ or the local ferry boat); approx. 5 EUR - check the schedule here.

A bit about Spetses

Spetses is a small, car-free island, loved by Athenians for its proximity to Athens.

Size: Around 27 km² (roughly 7 km long and 4 km wide - small enough to bike around in under an hour).

Getting around: Walking, (e-)bikes, scooters, quads, horse carriages, taxis and water taxis.

There are plenty of hotels and Airbnbs on the island - here are some of our favourites below.

Where to stay

When booking, be sure to ask your hotel whether they offer pick-up and luggage services from the ferry arrival port. If your accommodation doesn’t provide local transport, just text Argiro (+30 694 895 7398) who will help.

Logistics

How to get around Spetses

We want to make sure you know what to expect so you can prepare comfortably.

Spetses is mostly car-free, which is part of its charm - but it also means getting around takes a bit of planning. The main ways to move around the island are walking or renting a scooter, (e-)bike or quad.

If you’re not comfortable driving scooters or quads, reaching more remote beaches can be tricky. There are taxis and horse carriages, but availability is limited, so it’s best to keep that in mind when planning your stay.

Your hotel will also be able to assist you with booking taxis, and below are a few numbers.

For the wedding events

  • Friday (Ceremony + Dinner – Main Event):

    We will provide shuttles to and from the venue for all guests.

  • Thursday & Saturday (Welcome Drinks + Dinner):

    Guests will need to make their own way to the venues. If you don’t feel comfortable driving a scooter or bike, we recommend staying near the Old Harbour. If you’re staying farther away, a rented scooter/e-bike or pre-booked taxi is the easiest solution.

A note on kids

Just a heads-up that Spetses has limited mobility options with no cars and not that many taxis - so getting around with babies can require a bit of extra planning. That said, it’s absolutely doable, and Spetses is generally very kid-friendly.

All of our official wedding events will take place in the evenings, which may also be helpful to keep in mind for the little ones’ routines. If you’re looking for a babysitter or would like to rent an electric three-wheeler, get in touch with us or our wedding planner Argiro at (+30) 694 895 7398.

If you’re thinking of bringing your kids, we recommend staying close to the Old Harbour, as it’s closest to the venues for the first and third nights.

If you have any questions, drop us a message - we’ll help you figure out what’s easiest.
