This is a trip to a real Greek island that is a lot more authentic than any of the famous & touristy ones such as Mykonos & Santorini. At the same time very cosmopolitan while maintaining its magic and peacefulness due to the presence of the locals and the absence of any kind of vehicle!
A different approach to the popular 3 island cruise allows you to really spend your time on the "important" island instead of 90% sailing with very limited time on each island.
Hydra is a "car-free" island meaning that no vehicles are allowed, and everything inspires tranquility, relaxation, and a gentle way of life. It is not surprising that artists find inspiration in the atmosphere on Hydra.
We arrange everything for you to create a great day experience. Pick up from your hotel, quick drive to the port to board the commercial boat for a 2-hour ride past Poros Island to reach amazing Hydra!
Your tour leader will show you the island & its history as locals would! Optionally include lunch & drinks.
