Swimming in Spetses
Spetses is the southernmost Saronic island, a pine-scented retreat with a seafaring history and beaches that range from organised resort-style to hidden forested coves. The island's position provides good shelter from northern winds while catching warm southern breezes.
With 5 beaches tracked, Spetses offers varied swimming in reliably calm conditions. The south coast beaches are the most popular, while the old harbour area and the east coast provide alternatives when you want a change of scenery.
Swimming season runs from May to October. Spetses has an elegant, slightly old-fashioned atmosphere — horse-drawn carriages instead of cars, grand Edwardian hotels, and beaches where the water is warm and the pace is slow.
Swimming season: May to October
