Spetses, an island boasting a long naval tradition, is famous for its significant contribution to the 1821 War of Independence. It was here that the revolution flag was raised on 3rd April 1821. The island has managed to retain its individual traditional character thanks to its well-preserved grand captain mansions, still bearing eloquent witness to the island’s glorious past.
The picturesque old harbor and Dápia, a tourist and commercial center where the heart of the island’s entertainment beats, are the trademarks of the town of Spetses.

Kalavryta is one of the most famous Peloponnese large villages and is the ideal destination for wannabe explorers! Why, I hear you say?
Because of its history: the toll of blood during the WWII, the declaration of independence against the Ottomans, the Megalo Spilaio Monastery, the oldest in Greece or the first cog train rail in Greece, called Odontotos.
And because of its beauty, edged among mountains & rivers, strewn with leaves during autumn, snow in the winter and bright, lush vegetation during spring & summer!

The legend has it, that the first inhabitants of this island where ants, which Zeus transformed into men just to give his son Aeacus a kingdom!
Soon after, Aegina (named after the Aeacus’s mother) became a naval superpower of the era and the "Greek Turtles" minted on the island, were most likely the first coins struck in Europe. They were popular in their own time and accepted for payment all across the Mediterranean.
