Hydra is an island located in the Saronic Gulf, specifically in the Aegean Sea and south of Athens, the capital of Greece. It is also close to the Peloponnese peninsula, both points separated by the Gulf of Hydra.
Hydra is well known by travelers for being an island that offers a completely different experience from the rest of the Greek islands. It is a territory where time seems to have stopped, with architecture from another era, without roads or cars, where the entire landscape invites you to reflect and take a break from the modern world. Below, we tell you about some of the most important attractions of Hydra for you to take into account when planning your trip.
There are multiple attractions to visit on the island, such as the Historical Archives Museum of Hydra, the Ecclesiastical Museum, or the Monastery of Agia Eupraxia. This location is also famous for attracting tourists for nautical activities such as diving or seeing the Dokos shipwreck. And of course, a ride on a typical donkey is always welcome, or, at least, watching them go by in their traditional clothing.
Hydra has been listed as one of the most beautiful islands in all of Greece. In general, the excursions to Hydra are by sea, so we recommend that you consider a full-day tour called Hydra from Athens, which takes about 10 hours and is ideal for those who want to know the island of the Aegean Sea and are in the Greek capital.
