Uniqueness is the best word to describe this cosmopolitan island of the Saronic Gulf. A leisurely stroll along the stone alleys or a ride on the donkeys, which are the only means of transportation, will give you the opportunity to enjoy the distinctive local architecture. Historical mansions which belonged to heroes who fought in 1821, many churches, religious monuments, high quality culinary pleasures and crystal clear waters are only a few of the things you can experience on Hydra and which make the island a destination that should not be missed.
