Self-Guided Tour at the Romantic Island of Hydra from Athens
Overview
Hydra is one of the most romantic destinations in Greece, built on a slope overlooking the Argosaronic gulf.
Traditional stone mansions, narrow cobblestoned streets, secluded squares and above all the banning of cars and the use of around 500 donkeys as means of public transportation, explain the reason why Hydra preserved its distinctive atmosphere through the passage of time.
You can walk along the waterfront, the heart of the town, you encounter monuments, churches, canons, museums, old mansions, statues of famous heroes, shops and cafes, while picturesque winding streets lead you to neighborhoods located at the upper part of the town.
