FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 8, 2011 -- A mere hour and a half away from Athens by hydrofoil or catamaran, disembarking in the small harbour, takes one immediately back in time. The stone houses that zigzag panoramically up the mountainside, introduce the visitor to an island that is truly special. With its endowed natural magnificence, the island offers visitors the opportunity to truly wind down form city life and walk, swim in clear waters or simply gaze into the eternal blue seas. As a famous destination for artists, the numerous galleries also house exhibitions that everyone is welcome to view.

The walks on the island follow distinct pathways up into the mountains offering splendid views. Different beaches can be visited either on foot (there are no cars on the island) or via sea transportation for blissful moments by the sea.

Built in 1796 by a Russian noble sent by Catherine II to assist the Greek people in their plight against the Turks, the Orloff Boutique Hotel was established in 1986. A haven of peace, history and an example of the local grand architecture, the property is the perfect getaway for those seeking to unwind and recharge their batteries in sumptuous, historic surroundings.

With its nine rooms and one suite, the bespoke property offers traditional heartfelt hospitality to its guests.

The Orloff Boutique Hotel’s classic double rooms offer time-honored accommodation which is both luxurious and at the same time exclusive in feel. Ideal for a couple who want to spend the weekend away, they feature hand selected antiques and idyllic garden views.

The larger superior double rooms can also accommodate slightly larger parties and feature generous sitting areas; some feature Hydra landscape views and others large private patios.
