PROTECTING HYDRA'S COUNTRYSIDE: Strong winds and higher temps mean everyone needs to be alert to fire risk.

All work in the countryside, as well as burning of crop residues, is strictly prohibited from today, Tuesday, March 11, until Tuesday, March 18, by the decision of the Minister of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection.
The decision was made because of strong southerly winds and high temperatures for the season, which dramatically increase the risk of causing and spreading fires.
All citizens are invited to fully comply with the prohibition and
avoid any outdoor activity that may cause a fire due to negligence in order to avoid catastrophic phenomena.
In case of smoke or fire detection, inform the Fire Service immediately, calling 22980-53199 or three-digit number 199 or European Emergency Number 112.
To comply with the ban, extensive checks and patrols will be carried out by the Fire Service and the Greek Police
Those who violate the ban will face the prescribed administrative fines, according to:
The a.s. 19/2020 Firefighting Regulation (FEK 2233/B. 2020)
The Fire Regulation 9/20 (FEK 2387/B/20)

Απαγορεύεται αυστηρά κάθε εργασία στην ύπαιθρο, καθώς και η καύση υπολειμμάτων καλλιεργειών, από σήμερα, Τρίτη 11 Μαρτίου, έως και Τρίτη 18 Μαρτίου, με απόφαση του Υπουργού Κλιματικής Κρίσης και Πολιτικής Προστασίας.

Η απόφαση ελήφθη λόγω των ισχυρών νοτίων ανέμων και των υψηλών θερμοκρασιών για την εποχή, που αυξάνουν δραματικά τον κίνδυνο πρόκλησης και εξάπλωσης πυρκαγιών.

Όλοι οι πολίτες καλούνται να συμμορφωθούν πλήρως με την απαγόρευση και
να αποφεύγουν κάθε δραστηριότητα στον υπαίθριο χώρο που ενδέχεται να προκαλέσει πυρκαγιά λόγω αμέλειας, προκειμένου να αποφευχθούν καταστροφικά φαινόμενα.

Σε περίπτωση ανίχνευσης καπνού ή φωτιάς, ενημερώστε άμεσα την Πυροσβεστική Υπηρεσία, καλώντας τον αριθμό 22980-53199 ή τον τριψήφιο αριθμό199 ή τον Ευρωπαϊκό Αριθμό Έκτακτης Ανάγκης 112.

Για την τήρηση της απαγόρευσης, θα πραγματοποιούνται εκτεταμένοι έλεγχοι και περιπολίες από την Πυροσβεστική Υπηρεσία και την Ελληνική Αστυνομία

Όσοι παραβιάσουν την απαγόρευση θα έρθουν αντιμέτωποι με τα προβλεπόμενα διοικητικά πρόστιμα, σύμφωνα με:

Την Πυροσβεστική Διάταξη 9/2024 (ΦΕΚ 2387/Β/2024) και τις τροποιήσεις αυτής (ΦΕΚ 1132/Β/11-3-2025)

January is the time to update Hydradirect for 2025. My neighbour’s brown hen seems to know I don’t have time to shop or cook, so she’s laid me 1 egg a day for the last 5 days in one of the cat beds. I’m wondering how long she can keep ‘providing’ and how long I can healthily get away with eating egg and dried fruit!

The Greek Island of Hydra

Welcome to one of the most exciting and dynamic of the Greek Islands. Hydra has a sophisticated, jet-set appeal combined with an unassumingly rural style. In spite of Hydra's dependence on mules rather than cars and the preservation order that ensures that the layout and architecture have stayed the same since the 1800's, Hydra is no Disneyland attraction. It's a busy, living home to nearly two and a half thousand full-time residents. This thriving local community is active all year. We love our returning summer visitors, meeting first-times as well as welcoming out-of-season visitors looking for an alternative winter adventure. Hydra's boutique tourism caters for everyone from the rich & famous (undercover or otherwise) to avid hikers and everyone in between. And our unique real estate and building industry work flat out to keep up with demand on this most sought-after of all the Greek Islands.

No cars, no mopeds or bikes only horses, mules & donkeys to hire on the idyllic and exclusive Hydra Island, Greece. There’s no airport on the island either and everyone, whatever their walk in life, has to WALK. It really makes the island a very social place because everyone stops to chat along the way. Locals, visitors and businesses move luggage, provisions and even building material using the largest working herd of horses and mules in the world. The national preservation order for the entire island means that there are no huge purpose-built or high rise hotels but plenty of updated, grand, 17th-century ruler's mansions rubbing shoulders with quaint traditional cottages tumbling chaotically down the side of the natural amphitheatre that embraces the harbour. Where visiting royalty, diplomats, film and music stars mingle unhindered with the more discerning travellers who come to Hydra to enjoy a totally different holiday and living experience. Welcome to Hydra Island Greece, only 1.5 hours from Piraeus by sea. A unique combination of laid back, rural charm and dynamic glamour.

On www.HydraDirect.com you will find everything you need to know about Hydra whether you are visiting for a holiday, hosting an event such as a wedding, conference or even making a film here. The site is packed with useful information for those who live on the island as well as for people who are contemplating buying property on Hydra.

As the name suggests, I host many advert pages for the different businesses of the island so visitors can get in direct contact with them via their individual contact information. But HydraDirect is more than just an advertising medium. The majority of site pages provide general information and insights about island living.
