3Hydra

Hydra, just a short ferry ride from Athens, is known for its car-free streets, elegant mansions, and artistic legacy.

Out of season, the harbor is tranquil, cafés are nearly empty, and the pace slows to a meditative rhythm. Visitors can hike along scenic trails connecting the harbor to hidden coves or simply enjoy a quiet afternoon watching the sunset over the Saronic Gulf. Hydra’s timeless charm is best experienced when the cruise ships have left.
