Though small in size, the island is huge in terms of beauty, charming scenery and the very friendly and warm locals. The island is perfect for those who are seeking a very relaxed and enjoyable holiday. Simply taking a stroll around the harbour is an activity so simple yet so special. The hill above the harbour provides some magical views out towards the sea, and is ideal for enjoying a wonderful sunset. Scattered all over Hydra are about 300 small churches, and 6 monasteries. These are well worth visiting if you have the chance, and offer a wonderful insight into the religious history and traditions of the island. Hydra has some excellent beaches that are ideal for the summer months. These include the popular beaches of Spilia, Ydroneta, Avlaki, Kamini and Vlihos. There is easy access to Hydra by ferry boat and flying dolphins to Piraeus. There is also a taxi boat service that can take you across to the charming area of Ermioni in the Peloponnese county of Argolida. From there you can easily visit the charming medieval town of Naplion, the first capital of Greece, and also`the ancient theatre of Epidavros, where during the summer months you can enjoy performances of ancient plays.
