Vintage Photos of the Greek Island of Spetses, by Hugh LIewelyn

Posted on by

Looking through Hugh Llewelyn holidays photos from his journey to the Greek islands on July 1981 (Flickr Album), we found a few lovely photos of Spetses Isl. and we decided to share them.

The first photo shows the main port of Spetses, Dapia, where you can easily also see amongst the buildings our Hotel. Back then, Alexandris Hotel had a darker ochre coloured walls and brown shutters. Observing the photo, we realise that not many things have changed on the scenery. You can compare it by your self if you look at our Location main photo, or even better: come to visit us, have a walk on Dapia and take your own photos 🙂 🙂 We will happily share them on our blog!
