Villas on the Saronic Gulf Island of Hydra

Hydra at a Glance: Former home of Leonard Cohen and jet setter haven. No beaches but who cares? Magnificent village and swimming off the rocks is good enough for recovering from the previous nights festivities. Restaurants and cafes on waterfront are for people-watching. For good inexpensive food search the back-streets or walk down the coast. No cars on the island. Lots of donkeys. Suitable for families or decadent party animals. There are excursions to Ancient Mycenae, Epidavros and the beaches of the Peloponnese. The town has been restored and preserved exactly as it appeared in the 1800's when it's inhabitants built it in a period of prosperity gained from piracy and blockade running. The Hydriotis made a name for themselves during the war for Independence. Nice seafood restaurants in the village of Kamina. When you tire of walking there are water-taxis.
