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.

We spent 4 nights and loved it! The view was breathtaking being right across from the ocean and both decks on the front and back were perfect. We were able to easily walk to restaurants and a grocery store as well as the beach (there are a couple of options near by). The info book in the room had ...

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.
