My wife and I first visited Spetses in 1991 and have been back many times since. In 1990 the island suffered from forest fires and I am hoping that all on the island are safe and well during the current Greek heatwave.

Hello everyone!!! I am so happy this site exists!!!  I am from Spetses and grew up there but I 've been living out of Spetses for a little while and I am very homesick so I love being able to stay in contact!!!! I am returning to Spetses however within the next few months and I am so excited!!!! It has always and will always be home to me there!!!! There is no place like Greece!!!!  Last time I was there was 4 years ago and I've seen things have stayed generally the same but I  did see some sprucing up.  How do you all feel about our sweet, quaint, yet happening island? I hope to hear from someone since I still have friends and family there. I have managed to keep in touch with some people but with some its been a bit tougher. We are young and starting our lives, you see... Some I'm sure some  are on the island and some are trying new things. WOw, what a  treat it will be to all meet up again. Iam from the Palio Limani neighborhood, anyone from there? Take care and have a great day everyone!!   Always, Joanna

Hi there, I have a sick kitty and am wondering if you can direct me to a licensed vet on Spetses who may be able to find out what's wrong and treat her. I'm hoping not to have to take her to Athens. If there's no one on Spetses, where do people generally take their sick pets?

I'd like soooo much to work this summer in my favorite island! I've been there every summer of my lifetime... If you have any information that may help me, please write me! I live in Athens and will be available for July-August-September.

There was a message in The Notice Board part of this web site which I thought would be a useful forum discussion topic, so I am posting it here.

The original message was:

I'm visiting Spetses in mid September 2008 and want to know if there is regular transport to the mainland or other islands close Spetses. In particular I want to visit Monemvassia. How often, if at all , do boats run and how long would it take?

Hi there, we are staying with family in the Castelli area of Spetses this August and we are trying to find accommodation for our friends from England who want to come and stay for a week.  This website is the best information I have found on the web about Spetses, but we need to find accommodation near by where we are staying.

Why is it that only certain bars and restaurants are mentioned on this website?  My husband and I have visited Spetses on numerous occasions and eat and drink in other places not mentioned here.

We use Bar Spetsa, Creperie, Socrates Bar and other places.  I just wondered why these and others are not mentioned.
