Hydra
is perhaps the most beautiful port village in all of Greece.
A tiny harbour ringed with cafés, restaurants and gold shops
is surrounded by a village of stone houses and villas that rise
up the hills like an  amphitheatre.
But one of the best things about Hydra is that there are no
cars. Everything
is moved by donkey, including groceries, building supplies,
people and their luggage. Hydra is the former home of Leonard
Cohen and stomping grounds of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards,
Pink Floyd and many other famous and not so famous people.
Is a little expensive island, but not as much as Mykonos or Santorini
and there are still bargains to be found on the back streets in
the way of food, hotels and entertainment Sandy beaches is the weak
point of the  island
as they simply don't exist with the exception of Madraki bay. Swimming
in Hydra -in the rather clear and deep waters- can be done only
rock diving and that is what everybody, locals and tourists, does.
