Hydra's Unmissable Gems
Hydra is defined by its preserved 18th and 19th-century stone mansions, built by wealthy shipowners who played a pivotal role in the Greek War of Independence. This car-free island relies on donkeys and water taxis for transport, centered around a crescent-shaped harbor. The landscape features rugged coastal paths leading to historic fortifications, remote monasteries like Prophetis Ilias, and the eastern Zourvas lighthouse, offering a glimpse into the island's maritime power and artistic heritage.
