AN island in Greece has been labelled as "perfect" because of its beaches, its world class accommodation and typical town squares. Some Greek islands grab the headlines much more than others, but when there are 227 inhabited islands and islets to choose from, it's not surprising that some slip under the radar. One that certainly does that is Spetses, which is a surprisingly lesser-known destination, despite it getting a fair dose of the limelight.
It's frequently visited by hugely famous names like Claudia Schiffer and Nicole Kidman , who even owns a property on the island. Local royalty chooses to go there for holidays too, including Princess Tatiana, daughter of Constantine II, the last king of Greece. Daniel Craig is also very familiar with Spetses having filmed one of his biggest films there.
The Glass Onion, the follow up to Knives Out , was shot on location on the Greek isle, doubling up as tech billionaire Miles Bron's, played by Edward Norton, private island. The Telegraph described Spetses as the film 's "real star" because of its verdant landscapes, clear blue waters and its town's quaint streets. They wrote: "The real star of this madcap mystery from filmmaker Rian Johnson is Spetses – an off-piste isle just off the Peloponnese coast, that doubles as Bron’s ‘private island’.
"With its secret coves and sumptuous seafood, hiking trails and A-list cachet, it’s as far a cry from the cosy New England setting of the first blockbuster as Craig’s Blanc is from .
