After Hydra, we went to Spetses.  As you enter the harbor, you can see the Poseidon Grand Hotel.


We arrived shortly after Greek Easter.  Several Easter signs were still up in Spetses.  This one proclaims that Christ has risen.


The pedestrian streets are made of small stones.  Below are some typical patterns you'll find on the streets.


Bouboulina was a heroine in the War of Independence.  She was (is) the only woman to serve as an admiral.  This monument is found outside her home.


The harbor is busy with water taxi services.  Spetsus is a fairly short distance from the mainland making water taxis a common form of transportation back and forth from Spetsus to the mainland for both Greeks and tourists.


Below is a view of the "dapia", or town square, from the loading area.
