Hydra was first discovered in the fifties and sixties by a group of artists (such as Leonard Cohen or Axel Jensen), attracted by its authentic and magical beauty. |
So the island has gained the title of artist colony giving to the island a cosmopolitan and fashionable character.
The charm of Hydra is increased by the fact that the whole island is forbidden to any kind of motorised vehicle and only donkeys can serve as a means to transportation. That is why trekking is one of the favourite activities on the island. |
