Hydra Island, one of the most un-spoiled and interesting of the Greek islands, is a small rocky island in the Argo Saronic Gulf. It’s very cosmopolitan, safe and one of the easiest of the Greek islands to get to. Hydra maintains a charm and warmth off the tourist trail. You’ll find a slower pace of life and nothing happens very fast, which is wonderful for downtime. If you are looking for a step back in time and an appetite to experience the ‘real’ Greece then Hydra has lots to offer. The beautiful houses, the beaches in summer and some great walks are just a few of the things the island has to offer. Watch the boats, fishermen in the early morning, the people go by, visit the art galleries and explore the island’s history and quaint shops. As there are no motorized vehicles, it really does have the feel of being left untouched by the modern world although you will find all the ‘real world’ conveniences.
