I had a wonderful ride along the coast with Harriet earlier today! Hydra is an extremely pretty island, and it was well worth getting up early(ish) to avoid the midday heat. The horses are very calm - suitable for riders of any level - and Harriet is keeping group's small in order to mitigate COVID-19 related risks. For anyone holidaying in Greece in the complex summer of 2020, I highly recommend some time out on Hydra (only 1.5 hours from Athens) and with Harriet and her lovely horses.

Komiseos Theotokou Monastery

A beautiful church featuring a Venetian bell tower and a domed interior.

Reviewed By stinkwink - Sydney, Australia

From monastery to the cathedral, from the cathedral to a museum. A well-known path, just think about Aya Sophia, that was a Greek Orthodox cathedral first, later a mosque, and now it is also a museum. As the number of church-goer believers was decreasing, the churches started to get other functions. After arrival walking in the harbor, we noticed a Clocktower and a belltower behind it. Without knowing what we will see, we headed towards them. When we entered through the Clocktower, we realized that we're in Komiseos Theotokou Monastery. Inside in the courtyard of the Monastery-Cathedral-Museum, there are graves, and statues and a balcony going inside around the building, providing access to the rooms on the first floor. It is an excellent place to see all the attractions below in the atrium. Unfortunately, the church or whatever was closed, and since we had only three hours in Hydra as participants of a cruise, we weren't able to wait to catch the right time. Luckily my mobile is smart enough to take an enjoyable photo of a dark room, through the window. Komiseos Theotokou Monastery wasn't the first place where I had to practice it. Since I took the picture from outside, I even didn't break the rule, that prohibits photography inside the church. It was a pity that we had just such a short time since I would love to spend at least 1-1,5 hours there.

The Pirate Bar

The day starts early in the morning with delightful breakfasts, homemade sweets and uber-fresh fruits from the Pirate's kitchen. The menu shifts after sunset, leaving space to a wide array of fresh cocktails prepared by the mixologist of island's best stocked bar, to enjoy in a laid back atmosphere with the suggestive views of the port.

This is our bar/cafe of choice on our annual holiday in Hydra. It is great in the late afternoon to people and boat watch, or at night for the music and great atmosphere. The staff (or crew, as they are called), are very friendly and efficient. Prices are very reasonable for Hydra, and if you are regular, you get the odd free drink.

Saint Nicholas Beach

Reviewed By heiwf - Stavanger, Norway

Clean, fresh and beautiful beach of small, fascinating stones. Well kept umbrellas and sun beds for a very reasonable price. Nice little beach bar with cold beverages, Greek salad, toast, sandwiches etc. Wonderful place for a full day with sun&sea! The boat trip to go there is a bonus.

Andrea Miaoulis Monument

Reviewed By G6426FManthonys - Brisbane, Australia

Worth a visit if only for the views of Hydra port and the town which extends up the hill. Best to visit in the morning with the sun to your left. In the afternoon you are looking into the sun. Just a couple of minutes walk from the ferry terminal.

Historical Archive - Museum of Hydra

Reviewed By caterinacallitsis - Nea Erithraia, Greece

A small island wrapped in eons of history, having contributed many chapters in the country's victories and cultural heritage. All can be seen in the Archives and the Museum which are well organized and offer visitors a trip into the glorious past.
