Property Description
With a rich history, long seafaring heritage and cosmopolitan character, Spetses is one of the most picturesque Greek islands. It retains its charming feeling with its well-preserved Captains’ Mansions and by offering a unique feature that of being a car-free destination.
Laskarina, is a traditional home with authentic atmosphere and beautiful aesthetics. It’s set on a forested cape at the crest of the island, providing visitors the feeling that they are at land’s end. Total autonomy is a gift in 6 acres of grounds, so spacious that they feel endless, in a microcosm that seems separate from the island of Spetses.
Here, the olive trees glisten in the sunlight, among pines, palms, cypresses, native aromatics and eye-catching rock formations. Every spot is a new 360° panorama as the sea is the protagonist from dawn till dusk. The views of Spetses, the Agia Marina bay, the islets of Spetsopoula, Trikeri and Agios Ioannis, even Hydra island in the background, unfold from around this secluded cape.
A short stroll down the property’s footpath leads to a private beach, and guests can embark from here on a voyage to explore the coastline of the island. In addition, the traditional Agia Marina Chapel, which is attached to the property is ideal for a private mass.
The main house of The Pine Estate was originally built as a humble hunting lodge, capturing the elegant simplicity of Spetses architecture in full. Its understated luxury is a whisper of noble simplicity, with rooms that are in a continuous conversation with the surrounding gardens.
Four of its bedrooms open to a spacious infinity pool and emerald sea views. Its master bedroom is removed from the other accommodations to offer an additional level of privacy, and leads to a verdant garden, where one can lounge in cool shade and listen to the sound of the cicadas.

Less than 97km from Athens, Spetses is far enough to the capital to not feel too cut off from the outside world but remote enough to act as a true escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. A quiet and subdued place in the winter, come summer the island bursts into life, attracting affluent Athenians and a smattering of international tourists lucky enough to have discovered this secret idyll. eponymous main town is an elegant and peaceful place, filled with historic mansions and traditional villas. The streets are strictly car-free, meaning that locals go about their daily business on bicycles or mopeds, whilst visitors may opt for a more leisurely horse-and-carriage ride.
The iconic Poseidonion Grand Hotel sets the tone for the whole town, with its grand French Riviera style modelled on the Belle Epoque buildings of Cannes and Nice.
The elegant signatures in Poseidonion’s guest book read like a roll call of the 1960s beau monde, with the likes of Elizabeth Taylor, Bobby Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe and Ingrid Bergman choosing the hotel as their base
An atmosphere of old-money glamour pervades throughout the cafes, bars and restaurants that line the waterfront, where fine dining sits alongside traditional tavernas, and the clinking of coffee cups and ouzo glasses continues into the early hours.

Sailing enthusiasts will enjoy the Spetses Classic Yacht Regatta, held in June and featuring a range of vintage models and traditional caiques. Further along, the coastline, discover countless hidden coves and beaches, perfect for whiling away a hot summer’s day and catch a glimpse of Spetsopoula, the Niarchos family’s private islet.
