View of Hydra, Greece from the ferry — The largest town on Hydra, also called Hydra. Or Hydra port or Hydra town. It is not as confusing as it sounds, I promise.

I was excited about visiting Hydra as soon as I came across a description of it in a guidebook- small, no cars, beautiful, no cars, easily accessible from the mainland, historic architecture, no cars..... I was desperate to go to this non- motorized paradise and made the rest of the family go with me. It did not disappoint. We loved this island.
