Map of Ferries to Spetses
Hellenic Seaways and Alpha Lines serve as the largest operators in the Saronic Gulf, moving roughly 200,000 foot passengers directly into the elegant, cannon-lined harbor of Dapia. This two-hour hydrofoil sprint from Piraeus strictly prohibits private cars, preserving the island’s unique horse-drawn carriage atmosphere. You can effortlessly bounce over to the Peloponnese mainland at Porto Heli or catch a high-speed catamaran sailing north to Hydra. Simply pack light and rely on the local water taxis to reach the pristine swimming coves hidden along the wooded coastline.
