Details About Hydra (Idhra)

/1.jpg?img=0)
Known variously as Hydra, Ydra, and Idhra, this island is one of the most fashionable in Greece. It has long been a haven for artists who are attracted by the clear light and lively atmosphere of the harbor. In the 18th-century, the isle was home to fabulously rich sea captains who sailed as far afield as America. Today their stately, Italian-style mansions and villas have been restored to their former grandeur. Be prepared to walk a bit on Hydra, as no cars are allowed here.

Attractions
Hydra town is a lovely place just for strolling around. Many of its buildings date back to the 18th century, and is built around the harbour. Here, you can visit many art galleries, the churches of St. Constantine (ag. Konstantinos), the Virgin Mary (with a tall clock tower) and St. John (Ag. Ioannis) for example.
Shopping
Although you can find almost everything here, the most typical thing to buy on Hydra is gold jewellery and precious stones.
