The northwest road of the island offers special interest to the visitor. Starting from the traditional and loud “cafenion” and “ouzeri” of the Dapia, we take the inside road to go and admire the beautiful mansion of S. Anargyrou, the benefactor of Spetses, where renovation works are in progress. This exquisite building, jewel of the island, with its neo-classic lines and its two Egyptian Sphinx standing left and right of the entrance, was once housing the Town hall, the Rotschild family and was also used as a cultural centre. Next to the Anargyrou Mansion, is the square of “Pefkakia” with its little spinney and the Bouboulina mansion-museum. Τhis mansion with the fabulous carved wooden ceiling in the official lounge, works as a museum where the visitor learns through live guiding tour about the life and work of Bouboulina. Then you go down toward the coastline road, reaching the “Possidonion” square where the important cultural events of the island take place, the highlight being the festival of “ARMATA”.
