HYDRA

As the ship moors to the picturesque port of Hydra the landscape that appears in front of you is undeniably ... enchanting. A picturesque cove with a story to be told around every corner.

Welcome to the island that gave birth to dozens of artists.

Welcome to Hydra!

Painters, poets, visual artists and sculptors are some of the artists who put their little stone in order to give this island an artistic atmosphere. You can feel it in the air, you can sense it everywhere. Hydra is not like the other islands. Hydra is a “lady”. Serious but also shy, she does not show you her beauties at once.

Narrow cobbled streets, mansions, picturesque paths and… smiles! Smiles everywhere! At first glance, one would say that it resembles a landscape taken from a fairy tale.

This is where the pulse of the island beats. An island that was featured on glorious pages in history and was a cinematic setting for cinema movies with famous movie stars. A stone’s throw away from Piraeus and only a few minutes from the coast of Argolida, Hydra is an ideal destination for those who seek peace and appreciate a place that holds to its “prohibitions”, which is why it remains unique, without the use of cars, motorbikes or even bicycles…

Hydra, “dressed” in stone and shades of terracotta, wild but so peaceful, is one of those places you will love!

The mansions - a trademark of the economic strength of the island at the end of the 19th century - dominate and will willingly teach you the peculiarities of an architecture that due to its proximity to the land combines island and mainland elements.
