    Planning my trip to Spetses was really hard. I had to put every little detail of things I wanted to do on the island on a list with 48 hours. Bouboulina's Museum was top priority for me, growing up I heard all these stories about her and I wanted to see with my own eyes her ways and know her story. The Museum and the family that runs it are doing exactly that. They are also doing it in a way that although you don't know the Lady, you feel connected to her. It's very easy for you to be drifted away with feelings that change rapidly, joy - sorrow - excitement.. A must see in Spetses. I've put four stars which is something I rarely do.. There's a lot of things to be improved, I hope that with the proper guidance the Museum will take its place in one of the best museums in Greece! Cheers! Thank you for the great experience!

    A lovely small museum dedicated to Bouboulina set in the house she formerly lived in. I recommend visiting if in Spetses to learn of her history and role in the independence movement of Greece. A good hour should be sufficient to complete the tour. Just €6 entrance which goes towards restoration of the museum.

    We visited the museum during our 3-days stay at Spetses. The museum is actually the house of Bouboulina and it is actually very well preserved. The guide was a very talkative and smart woman who gave the best tour guide I have ever attended. Her comments were on the spot and she even made some funny jokes. I am not sure whether the tour is given in English language too but email or go by and ask them if you are in Spetses. There was a small souvenir shop in the yard with some very nice pieces at very reasonable prices. I definitely recommend to visit the museum, you will really learn a lot about an important part of modern Greek history.

    Highly recommended if you are visiting Spetses and would like to find out more about the history of the island and its important contribution to the Greek independence war. Very well maintained and presented.

    For those interested in feeling as well as learning history, and in particular the personal history of a remarkable Greek female patriot and Admiral, this home and museum is a very worthwhile way to spend part of even a day trip to Spetses ("Spices"). The museum is actually the residence of descendants of the famous woman, one of whom is 6th generation and an expert who gives a superlative tour! I recommend a trip to the island partly to visit the museum!

    A wonderful place,an impressive mansion! The museum of Bouboulina,the home of this heroic woman! Located near the port of Dapia.We admire collections of old books, writings and letters, old weapons, paintings and so many others historical objects.To be fair, the truth is, that the guided tour of the house was not the best, but you admire so much this woman's story so everything else doesn't interest you that much.

    The place is very well preserved, with lots of exhibits and the stuff has made an exceptional good job to guide the visitors taking all the appropriate covid precautions. No photos are allowed inside the museum.

    An excellent museum and tour with a very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. There are lots of incredible stories and information to be learned about Spetses and the Greek war of independence.
