you to get answers to any questions you might have, as our trained staff is

The port of Hydra,
whose amphitheater shape once served as a safe shelter for Pirates,
welcomes you. From the decks, you will be able to admire the very special
architecture and dramatic landscapes of the island, whose old
traditional stone houses and mansions silently witness to a long and
turbulent history.
As soon as you
disembark, it’s all there… the small narrow stone-paved streets waiting to be
explored on foot or by the island’s traditional “vehicle” – the saddled donkey…
captivating walks along the old seaside promenade… crystal clear waters,
radiant traditional fine craft shops, the beauty of Hydra will conquer
