Some Hydra topics of interest

:: Villages

Hydra Town (or port, harbor), capital and port of the island, is the only true village of the island. This is mostly due to the fact that the whole island is closed to any kind of motorised vehicles and doesn’t have any roads, except from donkey paths. The town is a paradise-like place, protected by a special preservation order. It is full of traditional red-tiled houses, old mansions and stone-paved narrow alleys. Check also: Kaminia, Vlichos.


:: The beaches

Most of the beaches on Hydra Greece are mostly places with flat rocks or pebbled bays with deep, clean waters. In terms of water sports, only the private beach of Mandraki has a windsurfing centre open to public. The best coves are scattered on its southern coast. Check for: Avlaki, Hydroneta, Spilia, Molos and more...

Because of its extreme popularity, it is often crowded (from April until the beginning of September), full of people who want to party.
