Hydra Diaries: No Cars, No Rush—Just Pure Greek Bliss!

Step off the boat, and step back in time—welcome to Hydra, where the roads are made for donkeys and the views are made for postcards! This island has no cars, no stress, and somehow, all the charm in the world. Wandering through its stone-paved alleys, soaking in the sun by the marina, or sailing into the deep blues—Hydra is pure Mediterranean magic. From lazy afternoons by the water to sunsets that stop time, this little gem stole my heart. If you’re looking for peace with a splash of elegance—Hydra’s the vibe. #hellohydra #islanddreams #greekislandglow #nocarsjustwaves #hydravibes #sailingescape #mediterraneanmagic #wanderwithoutwheels #bluehuesandviews #travelgreece #hiddenparadise #seasideserenity

Hydra

Hydra, one of the most cosmopolitan Greek islands, is located in the heart of the Argo Saronic Gulf. One of the main reasons why Hydra is a popular destination is its proximity to Athens, as a ferry from Athens to Hydra, will get you to the beautiful island in just 2 hours. It’s the perfect option for a quick getaway! Having been a filming location of “A girl in black” and “Boy on a dolphin” movies, as well as a holiday destination for Leonard Cohen, Hydra stands out for its classy beauty! On Hydra island, you won’t see any cars! Everyone uses their foot, boats or donkeys to get around the island. The cars ban, along with the elegant stone mansions of the island, create a charming atmosphere and make the island one of the most serene destinations near Athens.The island of Hydra is a popular small island of the Saronic Gulf, just a couple of hours ferry ride from Athens. It is famous for its picturesque architecture, the vivid nightlife, and cosmopolitan character. Except for relaxing at cozy beaches, there is not much sightseeing on Hydra island. In spring and autumn, hiking is a popular thing to do as the island is crossed by many walking paths that lead to impressive spots with sea view and historical monasteries. Hydra Town is also a picturesque place to stroll around, with elegant mansions and a museum at the port. #mynovgetaway #mynovgetaway
