About Hydra

The Municipality of Hydra (hydra.gr) looks after a horseshoe harbour town with no cars or motorbikes: you go on foot, and mules carry the luggage up the steps. It is a call for small luxury and yacht-style ships rather than the big Cyclades loops. Our Greek Islands guide has its hotels and tavernas.

Why it's on our list

  • No cars or motorbikes
  • Captains’ mansions above the harbour
  • For small ships

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Hydra before you go.
