📝 Set off on a luxurious full-day adventure to Hydra, one of Greece’s most elegant and storied islands. Travel from Athens in a comfortable, air-conditioned coach with scenic views of mountains and sea along the way. Upon reaching the peaceful port of Metohi, hop on a private sea taxi for a breezy 10-minute ride to Hydra.
Upon arrival, enjoy a guided walking tour of Hydra Town, where noble mansions, stone alleys, and jasmine-scented courtyards paint a picture of timeless beauty. Learn about the island’s maritime legacy and role in the Greek War of Independence, and sample traditional almond sweets known as "amygdalota."
After the tour, enjoy free time to swim at the famous rocky bay of Spilia, relax with a drink by the water, explore artisan shops, or wander through hidden alleys filled with art and charm.
In the afternoon, we board a boat to Vlichos Beach, a tranquil cove surrounded by pine-draped hills. Swim in crystal-clear waters or unwind on the pebbled shore. Savor a delicious lunch at a seaside taverna, enjoying local dishes made with fresh, seasonal ingredients.
As the sun begins to dip, return to Metohi by boat and relax on the scenic drive back to Athens. This full-day experience captures the very essence of Greek island life—beauty, culture, and relaxation—all in one unforgettable journey.
