Hydra is charming. A fast ferry from Piraeus takes you right to its lovely scenic port. It’s a top weekend getaway for Athenians. Just walking the picturesque cobbled paths of Hydra’s main town is relaxing. It is the only Greek island where vehicles are forbidden. That’s why donkeys are available for hire! Some lovely beaches are reachable via water taxi.
