Spetses Island

The island, though small in size excites the visitors with its lush, pine-forested landscape gaining its name as "island of fragrances" due to its many aromatic plants. The port, which is sorrounded by beautiful bars and cafes that serve drinks until dawn, is a nice place to enjoy a drink at night while watching small lights of the fishing boats in the harbour. The island has a lovely architecture with impressive and picturesque old buildings. The beaches, though not as beautiful as in other islands, offer a soft golden sand, multi-coloured pebbles and clear water, and are shadowed by verdant trees. Water taxis are used to reach the beaches. Riding the horse carriage is very romantic, as it feels like you are a prince/princes in the medieval time (Spetses, Greece / 2009).
