The Kounoupitsa beach is in front of the namesake area, on the way off Ntapia and towards the schools. Actually, Kounoupitsa is a continuum of many tiny beaches joined, with fine pebbles and crystal clear waters. Here you can take a quick dip, or enjoy food and drink at one of the shops located just next to it.
You can reach Kounoupitsa beach by all available means of Spetses (taxi, water taxi, bus or buggy, bicycle or motorcycle) or simply on foot.
Almost next to the port of Spetses, lies the beach Agios Mamas. Although it is close to the harbor, the water is clean and many resort to its small beach to have a quick dip.
Acess is extremely easy as it is located in the center of Spetses.
Towards the Old Harbour and right after Agios Mamas, there is the tiny beach of Agios Nikolaos. The beach has sand and pebbles, and is chosen mainly by locals due to easy access.
Agia Marina beach is a bit more than 2km from Dapia. The beach is highly organized with sun beds, umbrellas, water sports facilities and places to eat and drink. On the one end of the beach there is the chapel of Agia Marina, while at the same spot a settlement was once discovered and its findings can be seen at the Museum of Spetses.
In Agia Marina you can get by bus and your own car or on foot.
In Spetses cars are prohibited. For your transportation you can use a motorbike, bicycle or simply walk.
If you are into a romantic mood or simply want to try something different, you can use one of the picturesque horse-drawn buggies. The carriages have two starting points on both sides of the harbor, depending on where you want to go. The phone is 22980- 73 170 (towards schools) and 22980- 73 171 (towards the Old Port).
What's more,there are taxis (with a stand at the entrance of the harbor) and water taxis located in Ntapia (phone 22980- 72072), while for journeys outside the city there are buses. Boats also start from the port, going to the most remote beaches of the island and towards Costa.
You can get to Costa from the main road (170 km from Athens) with your own car, taxi or shuttle bus. From there on you have to continue by boat, water taxi or kaiki (a small traditional greek type of boat) and you can get across to Spetses in no time.
In the port of Pireus there are daily flying dolphins traveling to Spetses (52 nautical miles distance).
Right upon the port of Spetses is Dapia, the old bastion of the island. Here you can still find the cannons used during the Greek revolution.
Dapia is a passage and essentially the main center of the island. With stunning views of the harbor is the ideal place to enjoy coffee, refreshments and drinks or simply gaze. Besides, most people in Spetses arrange to meet in Dapia or end up meeting there without any prior plans.
The famous Old harbour of Spetses is 1.5 km from Dapia. It is a must destination for anyone visiting the island of Spetses, surrounded by beautiful and picturesque island-like houses and big or small boats that sway in the protected waters of the Old Port. Here was the famous "dockyards"(karnaya) where the the famous Spetses ships were built.
The Old Port is synonymous with the island's nightlife, as here lie excellent restaurants and bars to enjoy the food and then drink. Once the sun sets, all those visiting Spetses will at least pass by to set a lovely epilogue to a perfect day. In the Old Port there is also the legendary disco Figaro.
The best advise is to go to Old Port on foot to take in the wonderful scenery.. Otherwise you can go by motorbike, bike, buggy or even water taxi.
The town of Spetses stretches out to an area of almost four km in the north east of the island. In its center is the area of Dapia and the port where ferries dock.

Behind Dapia, you will find the mansion of a national benefactor (Sotirios Anargyros) and the one of Laskarina Boumpoulina (today known as Museum Boumpoulinas). The Museum of Spetses lies less than a km. Enjoy a stroll in the picturesque alleys, meet your friends
in the central clock square and squander your time without guilt amidst the plenty quality shops.
