Hydra Island - Saronic Gulf Greece

HYDRA, the small island of Saronic Gulf possesses a particularly honorary place between the tourist islands of Country, if in deed someone thinks how small it is.
Hardly 55 square klm extent and from population… thousands each summertime (permanent roughly 2.000).

The capital Hydra fascinates with the graphic architecture and its countless historical mansions.
Green and full of flowers always with the air of the island, demonstrates with pride stoned "villas” of the past, churches, monasteries, fantastic view and unique beaches.
And all these, in… very "compact" dimensions and with big movement.
Beautiful is considered by all, the full of life, harbor.

The capital of Hydra, is a town that startle with its plenitude in all sectors.
The nightly amusement and the movement during summertime (where also the island is transformed…) is amazing , the market is full of tourists, the choices for food , coffee, drink unlimited and qualitative, while the hotel units abundant as the beaches.

Particularity (for most pleasant), constitutes the entire lack of all kind of vehicles in the island, that is substituted by tens of caiques , donkeys and horse carriages.

There are many beautiful beaches on the island of Hydra that worth a visit.
Two of the most known though are Mandraki, which is 2 km east from Hydra town, and it is the old shipbuilding docks of the Hydriots, is the island's only real sandy beach. Vlihos is a pretty small hamlet with a rocky beach, a picturesque 19th century bridge, tavernas and a few rooms.
