The island of Spetses holds a significant place in Greek history, particularly for its leading role in the Greek War of Independence. Among its most iconic figures is Laskarina Bouboulina, the legendary heroine who devoted her fortune and fleet to the cause, contributing decisively to the success of the 1821 revolution.

In the early 20th century, Spetses evolved into a cosmopolitan destination, attracting royalty and prominent political figures. At the heart of this transformation stands the historic Poseidonion Grand Hotel, a landmark generously built by the island’s great benefactor Sotirios Anargyros.

The island’s rich maritime heritage is still alive today, with the traditional craft of wooden boat building continuing in local shipyards—where the scent of timber, tar, and fresh paint reflects a living tradition passed down through generations.
Strolling through the narrow streets of the old town, visitors can admire the intricate pebble mosaics that decorate courtyards, alleys, and squares—beautiful examples of local folk artistry.

Orloff Resort is ideally located just a short walk from the charming Old Port, in a peaceful setting that allows guests to experience both the vibrant history and the authentic rhythm of the island, while enjoying privacy and tranquility within the lush surroundings of the estate.
