When visiting Spetses Town, enjoying local drinks is a great way to immerse yourself in the island’s culture and relax after a day of exploring. A traditional favorite is ouzo, a clear anise-flavored spirit often served chilled and accompanied by mezedes (small appetizers). It’s a quintessential Greek drink, perfect for sipping while watching the sunset by the harbor.

Another popular choice is tsipouro, a strong distilled spirit similar to ouzo but without the anise flavor, enjoyed neat or with a splash of water. Both drinks are deeply rooted in Greek tradition and widely available in local tavernas and bars.

For wine lovers, Spetses and the nearby Peloponnese region produce excellent local wines, including crisp whites and robust reds, often made from indigenous grape varieties. Many restaurants feature carefully selected wine lists that highlight these regional specialties.

During warmer months, refreshing fresh fruit juices and iced herbal teas, often made from local herbs like mountain tea (sideritis), are widely enjoyed to cool down and refresh.

Lastly, don’t miss trying a cup of traditional Greek coffee, strong and thick, served in small cups—an essential part of daily life and socializing on the island.

Whether you prefer something spirited, fruity, or warm, the drinks of Spetses Town offer a delicious taste of local tradition and hospitality.
