Artisan Markets in Spetses Town is a weekly open-air market held along the Dapia waterfront promenade on Spetses. It operates every Saturday from 9:00 to 14:00, featuring local potters, weavers, and soap makers from the Saronic Gulf islands. The market offers direct sales of handmade ceramics, olive wood utensils, and natural sponges, with stallholders demonstrating their craft on-site.
What to expect
- Browse 15 to 20 stalls set up between the clock tower and the old harbour, with each vendor displaying a sign stating their island of origin.
- Watch a live pottery wheel demonstration at the Kerameikos stall, where the potter shapes a clay jug in under 10 minutes.
- Purchase a 200-gram block of cold-process olive oil soap from the Spetses Soap Company, priced at 6 euros, wrapped in recycled paper.
- Taste and buy dried oregano, thyme honey, and caper berries from the Maniatika Provisions stall, all harvested from the island's southern slopes.
- Meet the weaver from Hydra who operates a portable loom, producing cotton towels and linen table runners in 30-minute sessions.
- The market suits independent travellers and families, with a flat cobblestone path, shade from tamarisk trees, and a nearby public water fountain.
