The Spetses Classic Yacht Regatta
In June there is a weekend of sailing races, starting/finishing in the straight between Spetses and Kosta. A record number of 75 yachts took part in the 2015 Regatta, the regatta's 5th year.
The Spetses Mini Marathon
An international 26 km (16 mile) marathon around the island, held since 2011. Swimming races and fun races for children are also included.
The Armata Festival
Each year, the second weekend of September is dedicated to celebratory events aimed at commemorating the events of the battle of Sept. 8, 1822, in combination with the feast of the chapel of Panagiá Armáta (the Madonna-in-arms), near the lighthouse. The events culminate with a fictionalized re-enactment of the battle, including the torching of the Turkish flagship in the harbour, an incident not mentioned in historical depictions of the battle.
