Explore Hydra
Hydra has drawn artists, poets and a certain kind of traveller for decades, and it has barely changed. Grey-stone captains’ houses rise from a perfect amphitheatre of a port; the only traffic is on four legs. Swim straight off the rocks, linger over coffee on the quay, and walk the coast path to Kamini for the sunset. It is glamorous in the quietest possible way.
The character of Hydra
No cars, no scooters - just stone mansions climbing the hill, donkeys on the steps, and one of the most beautiful harbours in Greece.
For anyone who wants elegance without noise - couples and slow travellers.
