  History of Spetses   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
The island of Spetsai is situated at the entrance of the Argolikos bay, and its area is 22.24 square kilometers.
Spetsai were seized by the Turks in 1715, but very soon, as it happened with most of the islands, they were given considerable privileges which eventually amounted to autonomy; that meant that by paying taxes to the conqueror, the islanders were left alone to busy themselves with commerce and with building of ships.
Spetsai, along with two other Greek islands, the nearly Hydra and another small island close to the Asiatic coast, Psara, were destined to develop the largest merchant fleet in the last quarter of the 18th century.

 flag of Greece: Struggle for independence on the islands (1821-1829) flags
The flag has a white border, inside of which is a red border, around a white field; in the main field are placed a red crescent, a cross, and a spear; an upside-down red anchor around which a green snake is wrapped like a Caduceus; in the upper left corner, a blue-outlined gold bird.
Spetsai was the first of the islands to join the revolution and this was mainly due to Bouboulina's leadership and courage.
The example of Spetsai was followed by many other islands and therefore the freeing of Spetsai was one of the initial major steps towards victory for the Greeks.

We had a very nice dinner at the Restaurant Liotrivi (The Olive Oil Press) in the old harbour (near the boatyards).
The restaurant is more expensive than the average, but the food was very good, the service was friendly (we had a long conversation with the waiter about the history of his family in Spetsai), the tables were dressed with linen tablecloths, and the view of the port at dusk was wonderful.
We had 'Spetsai fish', and this is to be recommended.
