A Relaxing Day Trip to the Island of Hydra, Greece: An Island with No Cars Allowed || Greece Travel

Hydra island is a quaint Greek island located about an hour and a half ferry ride, which makes it a great option for a day trip from Athens. Hydra does not allow cars or motorbikes so you can only get around by walking, donkey or boat. The island is small so this is not an issue and water taxis are available.
There is only one sandy beach in Hydra, Mandaraki Bay. You can swim off the rocks as well and there are places all over the island to do this from.
At the end of the video I talk about the things I needed to get on the ferry. I now know why I didn't need a test to go back to Athens from Hydra and that is because it is the same regional unit as Athens!
Here is the best explanation I can find on ferries/flights to and from the Greek islands. realgreekexperiences.com/ferr...

You are doing such a great job when showing and talking about places in Greece. I was in Hydra years ago and loved every minute of it. The early morning breakfast, the sun, the beautiful narrow streets. Even having a frappe or listening to music with all the scenery around was such a experience. And of course their history.

Thanks for the video of your visit to Hydra. I Love Hydra, though it’s been decades since I last visited . It and Naxos are the two islands on my list for next Summer; I’m trying to see if I can also squeeze Cephalonia in also. Stay safe!

We went to Hydra a few years ago (following Rick Steves advice) and loved it! If you see his shows, Hydra is one of the last shots when they roll credits, Rick is having a drink watching the sunset (at the restaurant right near the rocky beach). Funny though, I don't see any cats in your video!! 😂

Hardalias said on the return from the islands to the mainland there is a strong recommendation to present a negative test (or vacc cert) but it is not the same as travelling from the mainland to the islands where it is a requirement. Therefore the coast guard usually won't ask for the documents when you return from the island.

@agirlandherpassport 2 жыл бұрын

I think if you are going islands in a different region it is but I think it isn’t being enforced. I am probably going to go to the islands again in September so I will see what it’s like then. Thanks!!
