On Hydra island, you won’t see any cars! Everyone uses their foot, boats or donkeys to get around the island. The car ban, along with the elegant stone mansions of the island, creates a charming atmosphere and make the island one of the most serene destinations near Athens.
The charming atmosphere of the island has seduced many international jet setters and has been a retreat for famous personalities. Elegant stone mansions, narrow alleys, donkeys walking around, churches, little shops, and a picturesque waterfront set the scene of an island fairytale!

Hydra is the most beautiful place! We loved every minute of our visit except you do need to be prepared for a long 2.5 hour drive to the dock for the ferry. Instead of waiting for the ferry which runs every 2 hours, we hired the water taxi to take our group of 4 to Hydra and back. This was a 15-20 minute boat ride. Andreas, our guide, was excellent at driving and giving information. I would give this trip a 5+ stars if it wasn’t for the long drive to and from Athens to get to the dock. Hydra should not be missed if you can get out of Athens for a full day.

Horseback riding was educational and fun.
Food was fabulous.
Seafront village was eye candy with many outdoor restaurants.
