All the reports regarding this hike are valid. It takes 1 1/2 to 2 hours each way. This trail becomes more challenging the higher you go. Path more uneven and actually steeper. You need to wear proper hiking shoes, wear a hat, have a liter of water & if you use hiking poles generally than bring them. I wouldn’t hike this in the rain. The views are wonderful, the monastery - spiritual & peaceful. If you choose to go on to the top you can but since I went later in the day I was set with what I did....

Reviewed By vanharmelen - London, United Kingdom
This is a very challenging hike and definitely a grade 1 hard. Take a minimum 1.5 liters of water per person. This is a proper workout and I felt the effects days after. All in all it took us around 4.5 hours round trip I am 46 and my partner is 36. The last 30 minutes you are just following paint marked on rocks, no path and in some cases you need to scramble. Also be careful on the way back that you follow the path... Amazing views at the top and getting back still requires a lot of energy you’ll want a well deserved beer and food.

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.

Wandered into this beautiful resort with friends on a walk from Hydra Port and were greeted by the owner, Arthur, who shared with us a little history of the buildings (a former shipbuilding yard) and how he plans to continue their conversion to include accommodation as well as the current beach facility and restaurant. We came back the following evening for a meal and to watch the beautiful sunset as we ate. What a delight. A boat was waiting for us at Hydra Port to take us round to the resort and we were met by George and his team who took the best care of us throughout the evening. The meal, the wine, the service and the setting were all amazing. A little more expensive perhaps than the other restaurants in town, but most definitely worth it. Don’t leave without trying the desserts. Really first class from start to finish. Keep up the good work guys and wish you all the best.
