About Spetses
On Spetses, most motor traffic is restricted in favor of horse carriages and bicycles, giving the harbor town a genteel, old-money feel built on 19th-century shipping wealth and neoclassical mansions. It played a notable role in the Greek War of Independence, commemorated with statues in the old town.
