I can also recall GILL making up SPETSI FLY for MARK R at the TEMPLAR CASTLE - who went ballistic when he heard about it...

Spetses
Nice beaches. Pine trees. Water-taxis and Nightlife in the old harbor plus one of the oldest wooden boat building yards in Greece. Spetsi is most famous for being the setting for the John Fowles book, The Magus which is suggested reading for your visit here.You can travel all around the island by bicycle or water taxi and there are excursion boats and buses to the various beaches. Flying Dolphin service to Naphlion and points south make Spetsi a doorway to the Peleponisos.
The Athens Center has classes and their summer poetry events and readings.
