Beach holidays in Greece lost Spetses

takes two hours by ferry from Athens to the beach holidays in Spetses, Greece in a lost in time. We embarked at Piraeus, leaving behind the chaos of the Greek capital and landed on the island of Spetses, 23 square kilometers, where cars are banned and the tourists turn a mule or horse-drawn carriages, and the houses are in stone or pastel shades. All thanks to an oath. A hundred years ago, such a Sotirios Anargyros bought a good chunk of the island where he was born: no one could know, but they put the foundation for the fate of Spetses. Sotirios sprinkle the Aleppo pine and paved roads. On his deathbed, finally, decided to donate his property to the people in exchange for a promise not cemented never land. The people here are speech and knows how to keep commitments. So there is no trace of cement in the island since the nineteenth century that has taken the high society of Athens, and that in the sixties and seventies was the landing place for artists and bohemians (as the singer Demis Roussos) and tycoons like Ari Onassis and Stavros Niarchos, who owned the nearby island of Spetsopoula
for its beach holidays. Instead you'll find Venetian architecture in stone ocher villas, milk-white mosaic courtyards, small Orthodox churches, cascades of bougainvillea. Greece's most elegant, indeed. And the beaches? To the north coasts are mostly covered with stones to the south, carpets of golden sand. Aghia Anargyri, ten miles west of the city, is loved by foreigners and the Athenians coming for the weekend. Aghia Paraskevi. a couple of miles later, the glass has water, fine sand and the smell of resin of a pine forest that reaches the mare.Il most beautiful resorts for beach holidays to Spetses is the former home of the Orloff breed of captains as befits the place (this is an island of ship owners) that the mid-nineteenth century they built the Old Mansion, a stately building a stone's throw from the Old Port. Four years ago, Christos, a descendant, inherits an olive grove near the family estate and decided to build a small, charming hotel, whose name is the Orloff Resort.
If you decide to do beach holidays in Spetses in September you can attend an event that attracts many Athenians. Army Festival. It commemota the naval battle of Spetses (September 8, 1822) in which the Greek fleet defeated the Turkish. Fireworks, art exhibitions, concerts, exhibitions sirtaki.
