Description

Quietly floating in the heart of the Saronic island group, Hydra is Greece's best open secret. Discovered, it remains unblemished. This postcard place out-of-time where Leonard Cohen once called home, retains its place-out-of-time unique beauty. From the shimmering crescent-shaped harbor to a port that looks more movie set than commercial district, the restaurants, shops, markets, and galleries share space with spectacular landscapes, pristine beaches, and neoclassical mansions. There are not only no cars, but there are also no roads - donkeys and horses provide the only transport. More than a destination, Hydra is essentially an open-air theater, with locals and tourists entering and exiting from either the sea or through an intricate web of cobblestone steps. People who come here stay...or return.
