Hydra Island

#summervacay Hydra is car-free, and that alone makes it incredibly relaxing. Everything moves at a slower pace here—donkeys carry goods, boats bob in the harbor, and locals greet you like an old friend. The architecture is stunning, with neoclassical mansions and steep stone alleys. I spent hours walking the coastline and swimming off rocks into clear blue water. Perfect for a peaceful escape from the busier islands. One of my favorites.
