Spetses, noble island charm in timeless waters
Spetses is the most aristocratic of the Saronic islands — neoclassical mansions in Dapia, the maritime history of Bouboulina, horse-drawn carriages along the harbour, and a small society of seafront villas and yacht owners that has held its ground for two centuries. Erra arranges the entrance.
