The beachside setting of Hydra is ready to explore
The area's museums and cathedral are just a few of the reasons to vacation in Hydra. This walkable city is known for its beaches, hiking and island views. Many rental homes come with outdoor spaces, separate dining areas and full kitchens, perfect if you want to enjoy some home-cooked meals.
From town to country in Hydra
Some visitors to Hydra can lose days to the pretty harbor town. Wandering between the merchant mansions and the boat-bobbing jetties, trying your hand at sizzling Greek seafood dishes in the local tavernas, or just watching the sunsets of the Peloponnesian mountains are all great ways to while away the hours. You can also opt to go into the backcountry of Hydra, where rows of rugged limestone hills are crisscrossed by challenging donkey trails, and where the occasional secluded pebble bay opens up for swimming. The clear water makes Hydra something of a scuba diving mecca, too.
Hydra has long summers
Hydra's just like the other islands in the Saronic Gulf. Long summers last from around May _ when things warm up _ to around October _ when you'll find the locals starting to wrap up in heavy coats and scarves. Temperatures throughout that season will range from around 75 to 98, and there's going to be plenty of sunshine to soak up while wandering the harbor and rugged hills. Because it's an island, you can expect strong winds and breezes for much of the year here, which is great news for anyone seeking out Hydra vacation rentals for sailing jaunts through the Aegean.
Hardy Greek backcountry in Hydra
Hydra's like one huge, natural Greek statue. Carved from a colossal block of limestone that juts from the Saronic Gulf just south of the Peloponnese, it's rugged and dry. Its coastline doesn't have the peppering of sandy beaches you can expect on other nearby islets, but rather a clutch of craggy stone bays and outcrops where it's possible to dive straight into the Med. The backcountry is given over to scrub-topped peaks where dusty donkey trails wiggle this way and that.
