You can access the seaside places of the city and various beaches by water taxi or by boat from the main port.

This historic monastery is located by the sea. Its tall bell tower, built from Tinian marble in 1805, can be seen from a distance. The monastery was the meeting point of captains and priests of the island when they had to take decisions concerning the revolutionary struggle in 1821. In the monastery you can also visit the "House of Spetses", a special area that has been turned into a representation of a traditional residence of Spetses.

The museum is housed in the three hundred year old mansion of Bouboulina Laskarina - the only woman with the title of admiral in world history.

This imposing building was constructed by Sotirios Anargyros, great benefactor of Spetses, in 1913-1914. The hotel helped the development of tourism and turned the island into a resort of the upper social class. Kings, princes, prime ministers and prominent figures from around the world, visited Spetses every summer and stayed at this exquisite hotel. In 1928 Spetses became the anchorage area for the English fleet, so the officers of the English navy were now added in the hotel's clientele. The hotel has been renovated and its elegance is still evident today.
