The experience

Spetses is known for its harbor and waterfront, but the interior (the forest, the high ground, the old estates) stays hidden unless you have a vehicle that can reach it. A 4x4 does. The route moves through terrain most day-trippers skip, stopping at Panagia Daskalaki church, the Xara estate, Zogeria beach tucked into the island's western coast, and the observatory. You also pass through Dapia, the island's center, and Agia Paraskevi, a sandy beach in a sheltered cove. The driver speaks English and knows the history. You get the chance to ask questions and stop for photos.

The tour runs two hours, which fits into a morning or an afternoon without consuming the whole day. Bottled water, soda, cheese, bread and fruit come with it, so you're not hunting for lunch halfway through. The vehicle holds a small group, and the route is paved and unpaved roads, not extreme terrain, but roads a regular car cannot handle. Minimum age is 18 years old.

What’s included

• Bottled water and soda.

Is this one for you?Two hours leaves the rest of your day open for the harbor, the town or a beach, so this works as a morning or afternoon add-on rather than a full-day commitment. The private vehicle means your group sets the pace at each stop without waiting for others to finish.
