Spetses is furthest from Athens. Charming horse-drawn carriages are the form of travel in style, as cars are not allowed on the cobbled streets. Bougainvilleas overflow the whfte-washed garden walls that enclose the pebbled yards of the mansions. Antique cannon decoratively guard the scenic harbour, and the dozens of shops and cafes that line the shore. Arresting, green beaches on the back side of the island can be reached by caiques.
