Hydra
The jewel of the Saronic Gulf
A true exemplar of aesthetics, the town of Hydra is amphitheatrically built around the port, where small boats and yachts sway in the gentle breeze. The stone mansions stand like fortresses on the rocky landscape, accentuating the island's grandeur. Hydra flourished thanks to its merchant fleet in the 18th century, while the island's prominent families played a pivotal role in the Greek Revolution of 1821, providing ships and resources for the cause.
A visit to Hydra feels like stepping back in time, as vehicles are prohibited, and there are no cars or motorcycles. People get around on foot or by donkey, preserving a sense of timelessness that will captivate you.
Let yourself be enchanted by this unique island. Endless strolls through the picturesque town and harbour, walks along beautiful nature trails, stunning views of the Aegean Sea, dips in crystal-clear waters, and exquisite seafood dishes are just a few of the reasons you will fall in love with Hydra.
