Xenon Estate

Spetses, Greece

Location
Xenon Estate is on the island of Spetses, one of the Saronic Islands. The nearest airport is Athens, which is easily accessible through the port of Piraeus. Spetses is very near the Peloponnese (mainland Greece); taxi boats cross to Kosta, near Porto Heli, in 5 minutes.

By Air:
Fly into Athens (2-5 hours away by hydrofoil or ferry). Click on the links below for a list of airlines.

From Athens airport by ferry
Take the airport bus or the train/metro or a taxi to Piraeus port (approx. 1 hour). From Piraeus, there are several daily hydrofoils and catamarans to Spetses, taking 2-3 hours, as well as occasional ferry boats taking at least twice as long (but much more stable in choppy seas).

From Athens airport by car or taxi:
Alternatively you can drive from Athens to Kosta (near Porto Heli) in the Peloponnese (2 hours) and then take a sea taxi to the island (5 minutes). The hotel can organise a taxi for the Athens-Kosta journey - see Rates - and meet you at the port. Or you can hire a car, but bear in mind that it will be left unused and unattended while your are on Spetses (private cars are not allowed on the island); if you want to hire a car we recommend Holiday Autos who are usually the cheapest.

From Spetses port to the hotel
Whether you arrive from Kosta or from Piraeus, the hotel will send someone to meet you and drive to the hotel.

Save to favouritesPrintMailXenon EstatePerched on a hillside in a secluded corner of Spetses, a beguiling Greek island 2-3 hours from Athens, Xenon Estate is ideal for those looking for peace and privacy in a sleek, self-catering set up. It's reached along narrow, winding roads lined with whitewashed cottages, and set in beautiful landscaped gardens complete with gnarled olive trees, sun-bleached pebbles, a fragrant herb garden and flower-covered pergolas. A glorious pool, with wooden decking and canvas loungers, provides a shared focal point. You feel far from the noisy mopeds of Dapia and bustling restaurants of the old harbour (though they're only 20 minutes' walk); and a world away from the noisy madness of Athens. Adjoined but completely autonomous, the 3 [r:GR038:villas] – with names derived from Greek mythology – blend traditional island architecture and boutique hotel design, with the advantages of a rented villa. You get fully equipped kitchens, sitting rooms with flatscreen TV and surround sound, luxurious bathrooms with robes and Korres toiletries, and diligent attention from owners Alex and Elina, who spend summers here with their little girl. And did I mention the panoramic views? Over pine trees and the rooftops of Dapia, you look across the startling blue of the Saronic Gulf to the jagged islands of Hydra and Dokos, and the mountainous outline of the Peloponnese Coast. Car-free Spetses has some lovely beaches, so explore the island by fishing boat or moped, then cool off in its largest pool.
