A hidden seaside refuge on the coast of Spetses
If you’re looking to discover a wilder side of Spetses, a visit to Bekiri’s Cave is an unforgettable experience. Tucked away near the beach of Agii Anargyri, it is one of the island’s most distinctive natural attractions, inviting exploration either via a short coastal walk or by swimming in the sea.
As you reach its entrance, you’ll feel as though you’ve uncovered a secret hideaway. Light filters gently through the rocks, while the natural curves of the cave form striking shapes. A tranquil atmosphere envelops the small sandy beach at the back, where the sea laps softly at your feet and shimmering reflections of waves dance across the damp stone.
During the Greek War of Independence in 1821, the cave played an important role for the people of Spetses, serving as a refuge for women and children during times of raids, offering protection in uncertain times.
According to local legend, if you drink water from the spring inside the cave, your love will last forever. The experience becomes even more magical when you dive into the crystal-clear waters within the cave, enjoying the sensation of being in a truly unique, almost cinematic setting.
