At the beginning of the last century the island's benefactor Sotirios Anargyros bought a large area and re-created there the pine forest of Spetses which was in risk of disappearing due to uncontrolled logging and farming. Pine trees along with Greek herbs and flowers are what you will encounter on every tour of the island. In the past, Spetses suffered from fires but vegetation always managed to survive and thus, became a paradise for the lovers of nature.
On Spetses you will come across various paths and forest roads leading to different directions around the island and intersecting with the asphalt road. The mountains offer a beautiful view towards all directions. At the highest point you will also find the church of Prophet Elias.
