Lazarus Koundouriotis was a successful shipping industry businessman. He supported the Greek War of Independence in 1821 by funding it with most of his wealth, which contributed greatly to the success of the war for the Greeks. His family’s home overlooking the harbor on the island of Hydra is now a popular museum which is part of the Greece National Historical Museum.
Thanks for visiting.
