A 40-minute hike from the island's center, Agia Matrona of Hydra is a simple monastery run by two nuns. It has a beautiful triple bell tower near its entrance, while it also houses a gorgeous, stone-built church! The temple has a characteristic octagonal dome with a similar pattern in its center, as well as a large chandelier, gilded candelabras, an iconostasis, and lots of iconographies on its walls.
