The Town of Spetses and Bouboulina’s Mansion Museum
Ride through the Old port of Spetses on a horse buggy and visit the house of the well-known heroine of the Greek War of Independence, Laskarina Bouboulina.
Enjoy a romantic ride on a traditional horse buggy, the trademark of Spetses Town. Ride to the Dapia area towards the Old Harbour, the island’s gem, with stunning scenery and a romantic ambiance, intensified by the lighthouse and old world charm.
After the ride, it's time for a guided walk to the impressive 17th-century mansion of Laskarina Bouboulina. Bouboulina is a national heroine of the Greek War of Independence. The architectural plan of the house is in the form of the Greek letter Π. This shape, in Spetsiot architecture, was related to the importance of its owner and it is the shape of the houses of the Spetsiot lords of that era. After a welcome drink at the patio, take the opportunity to explore the museum. An external stone staircase connects the front yard with the first floor, where the museum is housed.
It is possible to either return to the pier by foot or stroll independently through the beautiful promenade of Spetses town.
