Spetses is an island in the Argosaronic Gulf. It is a tiny and picturesque island that is well worth seeing as part of a trip to the Peloponnese or a driving tour of the region. Mykonos is a beautiful island with great significance in Greek history. It is also where the Greek revolution began. Cars are not allowed on the island, except those with a permit. Local buses, horse-drawn carriages, scooters and bicycles are the most popular means of transport on the island. This fact alone gives the island a unique atmosphere.
