A tour of the island by bike provides one of the most rewarding activities for visitors. The well-paved road of a manageable route of 26 kilometres offers an almost complete view of the Island’s coastline, as well as commanding views of the entire Argosaronic Gulf. Considering the long hours of summer daylight, there is plenty of time to spend the day at the beach and then cycle through the quieter parts of the inner Island.
(Bicycles are available for rent on a daily or weekly basis at affordable price ranges from several Bike stores on the island).
Walking along the numerous footpaths of the naturally beautiful island provides an interesting activity for adults and children, while is also a favourite family’s day out. Due to its geographical position within the Argosaronic Gulf, Spetses is in bloom throughout most of the year.
