The endless lacework of the Greek coastline produces a series of scenic surprises. Unique among these splendid shores is Hydra Island.
Hydra is filled with abundant life in the summer.
There is an art school, a sailing school and at Mandraki Beach parasailing and wind-surfing are available. The past-summer season, starting early September, attracts a more individualistic and artistic traveller, who savors the sunburned hills and the warm waters in reflective peace. The natural, one of a kind harbor brims in summer with activity, creating an international atmosphere which has made Hydra known all over the world, while it keeps its local charm and Greek folk art. On the island, all private vehicles are prohibited and all transport is by donkey or by boat . Crystal blue waters splash against the rocky coasts.
