The Attica region

Hydra is a magical island in the Argo Saronic Gulf located south of Athens and just 90 minutes by hydrofoil from Piraeus. It is the quintessential idyllic Greek island that one always imagines one will eventually discover. Despite its close proximity to Athens, Greece’s bustling capital, Hydra could be a million miles away. The island is famous for its glamour, aristocratic presence and was ‘eco-friendly’ before the word even existed. All forms of private motorised transport are banned from the island, so the only means of getting around are by donkey, mule or your own feet.

History

Hydra was so named in ancient times for the magical waterfalls that once flowed there. These days, Hydra is quite dry and water is either brought in from the Peloponnese or provided by means of rain water stored in cisterns and local wells.

The island is even more famous for its maritime tradition which peaked in the 18th Century. It was during this time that many of its magnificent mansions were built. The main settlement itself is picturesque and beautiful, with high and colourful mansions lining the waterfront while a stark majestic hill rises in the background to form a natural amphitheatre. Not to be out done, small village houses lie nestling in between the Venetian influenced mansions and lend to the essence of what Hydra is all about; proud, unique and welcoming to all.

The Town / Resort

Between the mansions and little houses are narrow stone streets, with tavernas and shops on the waterfront. At night the area around the harbour is bustling with boats from modest fishing vessels to super-yachts bobbing up and down in the ancient harbour. Whilst walking back up through the town, it becomes quieter and calmer as one climbs the delightful meandering cobblestone streets. Hydra is not just a seasonal holiday resort. It’s a place where people live all year round. The local community is quite unique, in addition to the greatly respected Hydriot families with their proud history, there has over the last 50 years been an influx of Greek and international artists and writers .

The Saronic Islands, Hydra / Hydra town area

Hydra is one of the Saronic islands. Nearby islands, easily accessible by sea transport, are Poros and Spetses.
Hydra itself is known as the jewel of the Saronic and property prices are amongst the highest in Greece due to its unique buildings, amenties and beauty. Building on the island is only under strict restrictions and there are no high rises or modern style building allowed. All houses are built in a traditional style of the island.

Hydra's unique features also inlcude that there is no motorised land transport. In fact the only vehicles belong to the Municipality - fire truck and garbage truck.

Mules, donkeys, horses and walking are the only way to get around. Also, there are small water-taxis and water-buses which can take you around the island, to various beaches and across the short distance to the mainland of the Peloponnese.

The island is dotted with numerous beaches and swimming places. Some are within 10 minutes of the town, others such as the famous Bisti and Aghios NIcholas are 20 minutes by small boat.

There are a number of important festivals celebrated on the island. This include Greek Orthodox Easter which is a 3 day event with people coming from all over Greece and worldwide to attend. In June the island celebrates the Mioulia festival. A 3 day event dedicated to Admiral Mioulis during the fight for independence against the Ottoman empire. This culminates in a reactment of a sea battle, followed by a fabulous fire display. ,

Hydra is popular for weddings and many people from all over the word come here to get married either in a church ceremony or a civil one.

There is an excellant choice of traditional tavernas to glitzy restaurants overlooking the sea to choose from.
