General

These comfortable studio apartments are very close to the port (no steps!) with a private garden. Decorated and furnished in the traditional style, the apartments are comfortable and of a good size. Their position close to the port makes them particularly desirable, and although there is no view, this is more than compensated for by the lovely private garden.

The garden which is full of olive, almond, orange, tangerine and lemon trees is extensive, and this is rare to find in Hydra town. There are two studios that will sleep three people, and another that will sleep two, meaning that any number of people can be accommodated from two to eight.

All studios are equipped with a telephone, TV, Air Conditioning and a kitchen area for self catering. All the studios have bathrooms. The island of Hydra is a quiet paradise. The large village of Hydra is nestled around the port in the form of a natural amphitheatre. Layers of tiled roofs gradually climb the hills around the bay so each house has a stunning view and each can be seen.

The island attracts a discerning population who enjoy the narrow white washed streets and the excellent cuisine. Small designer jewellery shops jostle with cafes on the water front and galleries and designer clothes shops are hidden in unexpected corners. But the most unique aspect of Hydra is that there are no cars, no motorbikes and no buses. The only form of transport is donkey and so the pace of life on Hydra has slowed down to a relaxing dreamy level.

It is so tranquil and peaceful that it is almost surprising to find the nightlife that sparkles around the port in the evening. Large and small boats search for berths in the port at the weekend and the comings and goings and tangling of anchors provide the onlooker with plenty of amusement.
