Hydra

Beauty & traditional Greek experience

Hydra

If you’re on the Three Greek Islands in One Day tour, it takes an hour and a half to reach your first island: Hydra.

The tour gives you an hour to see the highlights such as the narrow streets of the harbour, the opportunity to view daily life on an island where no cars are allowed.  The population move around either on foot or with their donkey. This has helped preserve Hydra's authenticity.  

Highlights

  • The 18th Century Naval School
  • The Monastery of the "Assumption of Mary"
  • The square where a scene from Roger Moore's "For Your Eyes Only" was filmed.

Almost five ferries a day from Piraeus to Hydra. A great island hopping destination in the Saronic group.
