Why Celebrate Spetses Armata 2017?<\/strong><\/h2>\nDuring the Greek War of Independence in 1821 (or else known as the Greek Revolution), the Turks resisted fiercely. The Greeks did not give up, though. A year after the initiation of the revolution, on 8th<\/sup> September 1822, the Turkish naval fleet (the Armada or Armata) was defeated by the locals. It is this joyful event that is represented each year in the waters of Argosaronic Gulf.<\/p>\nDuring Spetses Armata 2017, there will be a lot of festivities with both cultural and religious events. At the end of the festival, there will be a representation of the seafight between the Greeks and the Turks. Fireworks fill the sky with lights and remind everyone of the event. The church bells ring cheerfully. Tradition is revived yet again for another year\u2026till the next year of course!<\/p>\n
