5/5 - Excellent
Hydra is a rock in the sea - but what a rock! The harbour (port?) is stunning on arrival. The walks along the coastal cliffs are stunning (and perfectly safe). It is expensive, but we were on holiday so hey... YOLO!

This is an island that does not allow cars, donkeys or on foot only! Hotel Miranda is right in town in an old house. Expect stairs but also ambience. Close to everything! Great staff.

Room location was outstanding, with a private pool, right in the beach. Be careful of weekends, since there is an event venue right next door. On the Sunday that we wre there there were 2 events, a baptism in the afternoon and a wedding in the evening. The bands were very loud and it definitely reduced ...

We loved Hydra! The apartment was very comfortable. Bathroom was a little small but it worked. Themis was very responsive.

Charming seafarer’s cottage! It was in a beautiful location with incredible views over the water and the town of Hydra. Literally 5 minute walk up a stoney path to the nearest little beach with crystal clear water (bring your water shoes) with gorgeous views all the way. 20 minute walk into town ...

The trek up the hill was significant but the apartment, the view of the town and the sea, and the quietness was worth it. The apartment was beautiful, clean and comfortable. It helped make our trip to Hydra special.

We love Hydra, no traffic, beautiful surroundings, swimming and walking and lots of boats.
A stunning island which is a sight for sore eyes, weary minds abs tired bodies. It is evocative of a time gone by and I cannot wait to go back.
We love Hydra and return as often as we can. I’m not sure any island can compete in terms of the feeling you get when you’re there. Also, the sea and the beaches are nice and not overcrowded, The food is generally excellent too with great variety.
I think Hydra island would be hard to beat - it was lovely and quiet and very unspoilt. Lots of choice of good places to eat and some lovely beaches close by.
Good food, no cars, for a getaway take the boat bus to St Nicholas beach but dont forget beach towels and maybe take a picnic as the beach bar is fairly basic. Take cash for beach bar as no card machine.
