Hello! My name is Katerina and I live with my family on Spetses island. I love long walks, cooking, and any kind of art. I Studied Tourism Management at the University of West Attica and I have been working in Tourism Industry for more than 7 years. I was always passionate about the history of Spetses island. After studying books, receiving knowledge from old local people by sharing their stories, and exploring the hidden gems of the island, I decided to share all those beautiful things from my point of view. Some people claim that the name "Spetses" comes from the Italian "Isola di Spezia" - (The island of perfumes). Together we can explore this fragrant place and give you a taste of a local experience. I would be more than excited to introduce you the heroes of this place, storytelling you about its development and how this island is strongly connected with art and culture. We can also taste together greek authentic local delicacies and learn everything about them. •Tourism Management Degree - University of West Attica •English- Proficiency ECPE Michigan Certificate •Russian- A2 Certificate "МГУ имени М.В. Ломоносова" •French - A1 DELF Certificate I am not a licensed guide I can only offer walking tours

Overview of your Spetses tour

On Spetses island, locals usually start their day in "Ntapia" area, having a coffee before going to work. "Ntapia" or "horseshoe" -this is what locals call it due to its shape!- is the center of Spetses Island. It used to be a meeting point for lords and captains during the period of the Greek Revolution of 1821. Today it is the favorite place of locals and travelers. It is also my favorite area to walk; no matter how many years I have had this habit, I am always enchanted by its simple beauty. The most amazing thing is how much history can a small place can hide! During this tour, we will: Learn about local historical personalities and facts, such as: -Laskarina Bouboulina and her role during the Greek War of Independence of 1821 -Sotirios Anargiros - the benefactor of the island and how his actions developed his homeland.
