The island
Spetses lies just off the eastern tip of the Peloponnese, at the entrance to the Argolic Gulf, a short boat ride from the mainland village of Kosta. The island is small and roughly oval, its pine-covered hills rising gently toward the centre, and it is often counted among the Saronic islands. Private cars are restricted, so most people get around by scooter, bicycle, taxi or boat.
The town of Spetses spreads along the northeastern shore, from the Dapia waterfront past the Old Harbour, with lanes climbing the slopes behind. A coastal road loops around the island and links its bays and beaches, while the interior is mostly forest crossed by tracks. On a Spetses map poster, that loop forms a clean frame around the island's wooded centre.
The island's history is tied to the Greek War of Independence. Spetses was a significant naval power in 1821, and the naval commander Laskarina Bouboulina was based here; her house is now a museum. A battle from that war is re-enacted each September in the Armata festival. John Fowles taught at the island's Anargyrios and Korgialenios school, which inspired his novel The Magus.
A single road circles almost the entire coast, a closed loop that holds the whole island together on the map and touches each of its bays.
East of the main waterfront, the Old Harbour forms a narrow, sheltered inlet that has long served as a boatyard and mooring for traditional boats.
Behind the Dapia waterfront, a dense web of lanes climbs the hillside. It is the only part of the map where the linework becomes truly intricate.

Why Spetses
Spetses inspires strong loyalty among Athenian families who have summered there for decades, among sailors, and among readers who first met the island through The Magus. The rounded outline, circled by its road, makes one of the most graphic island maps in Greece.
Personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates line, perhaps with a house name or the year of a wedding on the island. Choose one of five styles, Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Download the HD files for $9, or order a matte print with an optional wooden frame.
