After a short walk from the harbor you reach Hydra Villa,which, from the outside, resembles a fortress and you are at once captivated by the fascinating view over the Saronic Gulf. To reach the house one first passes through a multi-levelled atrium with wonderful trees and flowers. Here, there are many comfortable spots to sit in absolute peace and to read or just to dream. Next, you enter the ground floor with its two bedrooms, bathroom/WC, kitchen and dining room with a terrace that will make every meal a memorable occasion. On the first floor you will find a large room with a 2m x 2m king-size bed, a seating arrangement adjacent to an open fireplace, a work-corner and also an adjoining bathroom. One side of this room connects to the courtyard and the other to the balcony. There is a further small room with two single beds and a bathroom.
The islands in the Saronic and Argolic gulfs lie between the south-eastern coast of the Peloponnese and the west coast of Attica. The historic and picturesque island of Hydra is famous for its traditional architecture from the early last century. It’s a rendezvous point for many artists and painters. A branch of the Arts Academy continues the tradition of painting here. There are no cars on the island, donkeys provide the transport for longer distances. On the quayside of the port there are many cafes, restaurants, jewellery shops and art galleries. Narrow, steep streets, bare hillsides with white churches on them and paths along the seashore invite you to discover the island on foot. Getting there: Charter/schedule flights to Athens, high-speed boat from Zea Marina to Hydra.
