Laskarina Travel

Laskarina was the company that started our love of Greece and its Islands, when we booked a simple villa through them. It was on Halki near Rhodes, delightfully off the beaten track and well away from the tourist trail. It is sad that the great WWW was the main reason for their demise.

If you have any memories of the company or your first visit to Greece I would love to read them and add them to this site.

Want Ideas? How about:

• Where you went
• How off the beaten track it was
• Unusual sights
• Your first visit to Greece

Don't worry about style, just bash in the words and I will convert it to a web page on this site.

Nissia Holidays is a family-run, independent holiday company specialising in the quieter side of Greece. We offer villas, apartments and hotels in Halki, Tilos, and the unspoilt Greek islands.

Part of the Dodecanese archipelago, Halki and Tilos nestle in the south-eastern corner of the Aegean, close to the island of Rhodes. These beautiful islands are famed for their local hospitality, which is as warm as the Greek sunshine. With an idyllic climate, a scattering of sleepy villages where time seems to have stood still, and beautiful beaches lapped by azure waters, they offer a pace of life that defies the 21st century.

Nissia Holidays Ltd. is registered in England and Wales, company No. 05979851, and was formed in October 2006 to offer a new approach to holidays on the idyllic and unspoilt small Greek island of Halki.

We have over thirty years combined experience of Halki and the surrounding islands and in recent years had been the representatives of Laskarina Holidays in the region. Following Laskarina’s decision to withdraw from the market at the end of the 2006 season, Nissia Holidays was created to respond to the demand from regular & newly-enchanted visitors to the island for the unique holidays on offer on Halki to be available for the 2007 season and beyond.

For the start of the 2010 season Nissia  Holidays expanded to take over the operations of Little Island Holidays on Tilos.

Meni has been living & working on near-by Rhodes for over a quarter of a century, all of that time in the holiday & leisure industry, and during that time she has built up valuable relationships with all of the companies & individuals needed to ensure that Nissia Holidays can rely on unparalleled local support to deliver the most stress & problem free holidays on Halki and Tilos. Whether that’s dealing with airport officials, transfer companies, boat captains or just about anyone else involved in making sure you’re holiday has all it needs and more then Meni always knows the right person to ask to make things happen.

As a Greek-Australian she is also fiercely proud of her Hellenic roots so above all else she is determined that every visitor to the islands is able to enjoy the unspoilt and picturesque island to its full potential and then spread the word when the holiday is over for another year.

Triantafyllos, or Daffy as most guests like to call him, comes from a strong hospitality background. Working alongside Meni from a young age and helping with operations for Laskarina Holidays, he is service minded and always happy to help the guests have an amazing and relaxing holiday in Halki and Tilos. He holds a BSc in Computer Sciences from Liverpool John Moores university and has various qualifications from the travel industry.

In 2015 he became the reservations manager for Nissia Holidays.

Our passionate Tilos representative, Ian is friendly and always eager to assist our guests for Tilos. You will find him at Rhodes airport on Wednesdays and then on his beloved island of Tilos taking good care of our Tilos guests or assisting the boats to dock down at the harbour!

Steve started working with Nissia in 2017, striking up an instant rapport with Meni, Daffy and Blendi. Having had his own businesses and working in a corporate environment, he likes to see things from a customer perspective and he was indeed a Nissia client before becoming a Halki resident. He is passionate about customer service and loves Halki. He is a welcome addition to the team, where locally Blendi and he are known as Black and Decker!

George is the newest member of our team and he has already become a vital part of our reservations team. In love with our unspoilt islands, he has gained previous experience in the hospitality industry, working in the travel technology industry and customer support, he's ready to assist our guests to find the best possible options for their holidays.

Privacy Overview

Spetses Laskarina Bouboulina

Laskarina Bouboulina, the heroine of Spetses: Laskarina Bouboulina is a Greek prominent historical figure, known for her tremendous contribution to the Greek War of Independence in the 19th century. She was born in May 1771 in a prison in Constantinople, where her father had been put for taking part in revolutionary actions against the Ottoman Empire. However, her father died in prison and her mother, Paraskevo, returned to their homeland, the island of Hydra. Four years later, her mother married Captain Dimitrios Lazarou-Orlov and the family moved to the neighboring island of Spetses.

Even as a child, Bouboulina was enamored by the sea and would often listen to stories of sailormen. She grew up among people talking of a forthcoming revolution of the Greeks against the Ottomans, who had been ruling the country for almost four centuries. Bouboulina got married twice, first to Dimitris Yiannouzas and then to Dimitris Bouboulis, from whom she derived the name Bouboulina (her family name was Pinotsi). Unfortunately, both her husbands, who were captains, were killed during pirate raids.

Bouboulina was then left with an immense fortune from her two husbands as well as seven children to support. She turned out to be a great businesswoman and soon managed to increase her fortune. She went on to become a partner in several vessels and also built three of her own. Her ships included the famous Agamemnon, which was a huge ship consisting of 18 cannons and the largest Greek ship used in the Greek War of Independence.

Bouboulina soon became a member of a secret organization known as Filiki Eteria , which was spreading the idea of a Greek Revolution against the Ottomans. She used her fortune to make arms and ships for her country and collected men to fight the enemies by her side.

On March 13th, 1821, Bouboulina raised the Greek flag onboard her largest ship, Agamemnon, started a naval blockade against the Ottomans and fought until the Fort of Nafplion fell. She also took part in the blockade of Monemvasia, Peloponnese. In the war, she lost her eldest son, Yiannis Yiannouzas. At the siege of Tripoli, the Turkish capital in the Peloponnese, Bouboulina intervened and saved a large part of the female household of the Sultan.

After the Turks were defeated, Bouboulina remained in Nafplion until General Theodoros Kolokotronis was imprisoned. After this, Bouboulina gave up her house in Nafplion and returned to the island of Spetses.

In 1825, Laskarina Bouboulina was killed in a very unfair and unexpected manner, when a member of the Koutsis family shot her. They had come to question her about her son, Georgios Yiannouzas, who had eloped with their daughter. Following her death, she was the first woman to be awarded the rank of Admiral by the Russian Navy. Many streets have been named after her in Greece today, a mark of the true admiration that the people of Greece feel for her.

Authentic for rent estate for rent mansion for rent villa for rent, laskarina ref. no. 74zbnd, 1 apr 2024 - 1 may 2024, 2 may 2024 - 29 may 2024, 30 may 2024 - 3 jul 2024, 4 jul 2024 - 31 jul 2024, 1 jul 2024 - 28 aug 2024, 29 aug 2024 - 2 oct 2024.

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.
