Luxury holidays in Hydra

You may be relieved to know that the Greek isle of Hydra isn’t named after the multi-headed mythological beast, but rather its natural springs. In fact, this relaxed Saronic speck feels as peaceful as can be.

When to go

Try to avoid the holidaying crowds and time your trip before things shut up for the season by booking from August to September.

Getting there

  • Planes

    There’s no airport on the island, so touch down at Athens’ Eleftherios Venizelos Airport then travel down to Piraeus port to catch the ferry to the island.

  • Automobiles

    No cars allowed – charmingly, this means horses, donkeys and mules mill about the place.
