THE BOUBOULINA MUSEUM Reviews | Rating 4.8 out of 5 stars (8 reviews)

THE BOUBOULINA MUSEUM is located in Spetses, Greece on Πευκάκια. THE BOUBOULINA MUSEUM is rated 4.8 out of 5 in the category museum in Greece. The Bouboulina Museum was founded in 1991 by Mr. Philip Demertzis-Bouboulis, Bouboulina’s fourth generation descendant, in his effort to save the mansion from collapse. A non-profit making company manages all the Museum's income, and has as its main objective the repair and maintenance of the building and its use as a museum and cultural centre, whilst at the same time recounting the story of the Greek War of Independence with emphasis on the life of the heroine Laskarina Bouboulina. The museum is situated in the centre of Spetses town, directly behind Dapia Harbour. Το Μουσείο της Μπουμπουλίνας ιδρύθηκε το έτος 1991 από τον απόγονό της (τετρασέγγονο) κ. Φίλιππο Δεμερτζή-Μπούμπουλη, στην προσπάθειά του να διασωθεί το αρχοντικό που κινδύνευε από κατάρρευση. Τα έσοδα διαχειρίζεται εταιρία μη κερδοσκοπική με σκοπό την επισκευή και συντήρηση του αρχοντικού, τη λειτουργία του ως μουσείο και πολιτιστικό κέντρο και τη διάδοση της ιστορίας της Ελληνικής Επανάστασης και ειδικότερα της ηρωίδας Λασκαρίνας Μπουμπουλίνας. Το Μουσείο βρίσκεται στο κέντρο της πόλης των Σπετσών, ακριβώς πίσω από το λιμάνι της Ντάπιας.

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.

Very awesome! There are tours in English, just check out when before you come there. You will see Bouboulina's house accompanied with spicy stories of the tour guide. There are student discounts

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!

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!
