On arrival you will marvel at the amazing architecture of the harbor town and have plenty of time to discover the many charms of the island on one of our tours. A leisurely stroll through the narrow streets is a must. The cosmopolitan Hydra, with its paved streets, its fortresses and the donkeys – the traditional means of transport – is one of the most important centers of culture.

The narrow streets, the imposing neoclassical buildings, the green hills are the pictures that have been a source of inspiration for poets and painters for more than 75 years.
