01 · In a sentence

Yayaki Spetses in Spetses 180 50.

Yayaki Spetses occupies a hillside perch on the Greek island of Spetses, overlooking the Aegean Sea with unobstructed water views and pine-covered slopes rising behind the property.

The hotel's whitewashed architecture and terraced outdoor spaces command panoramic vistas across the coastline, positioning ceremonies and receptions against a backdrop of open Mediterranean horizons.

Stone pathways wind through the grounds, connecting intimate gathering areas to dramatic cliff-edge venues where sunset light floods across the sea.

Everything about our stay was exceptional - the team went above and beyond to make our holiday memorable. We stayed here to celebrate our engagement and upon arrival were given congratulations and upgraded to a beautiful suite that went beyond expectations. The room had plenty of space and a huge bath that was a fantastic surprise. We also had a private outdoor area with a view of the communal pool. The whole property is exceptionally well taken care of with beautiful flowers everywhere (that were also used to decorate our room every morning!). The staff were so friendly and accommodating - especially George who made sure we discovered the best parts of the island and gave us excellent restaurant recommendations. Finally, the breakfast was fantastic. We are planning our trip there next year because we miss the french toast so much. If you stay at Yayaki you won't have any regrets!
