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.
