Set sail for the erotic yet enviable island of the Saronic Gulf. Away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, without sudden braking and indiscriminate car horns. This is where great poets such as Seferis, Elytis and the legendary Leonard Cohen met their muse, in the tranquil landscape of the preserved island with its unique architecture. Walk through its winding streets with its imposing mansions and houses with brightly coloured, brightly painted doors and windows with sophisticated designs that give it a special style. Discover the bastions with the cannons, the old stone-built powder magazine – now the roof of the port authority, and Madraki, where the old war port is located, testify that it was once the base of great burglars and captains of the Revolution. At the port you will find the statue of the brave admiral, Andreas Miaoulis, at the base of which his bones are kept, while nearby, at the Historical Archive – Museum of Hydra you will find the likeness of his heart. Worship the seafaring Epitaph on M. Friday in Kaminias and experience a glorious Resurrection, amidst fireworks and fireworks by the sea.<\/p>\n

You are listening<\/span><\/h3>\n

Island sounds will sweep you away to a ballroom or a slide. The solemn chants will transport you to the spirit of Holy Week, on the island with its great chanting tradition.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You’re sniffing<\/span><\/h3>\n

The scents of the spring wildflowers and the blooming “mydalia” (almond trees) that flood the Hydra nature, fill our nostrils and our souls with the refreshing aromas of nature.<\/p>\n

Taste<\/span><\/h3>\n

Unique seafood specialties with the traditional 25th of March dish, cod garlic and the delicious stuffed with rice and herbs. Indulge in the famous almond loaves with the special taste of lemon, rose water and honey.<\/p>\n

As spring adorns the island with its colourful touches, walk from end to end to discover lush pine forests, monasteries with spectacular views of the island such as the Monastery of Prophet Elias and Agia Fotini, lighthouses, windmills and beautiful pebble beaches such as Bisti and Agios Nikolaos.<\/p>\n

INFO<\/strong> <\/span>On the road to Madraki, there is a stone that has an imprint on it that looks like a large human footprint. This, tradition says, was done by Christ when he happened to pass by Hydra. His foot was thrust into the soft earth which turned into a hard granite rock with the mark of His foot.<\/p>\n
