Take in one of the most appealing islands in the Saronic Gulf with this boat cruise. Sail across the Aegean Sea and come ashore to explore Hydra – an ancient port of call where cars and motorbikes are banned. Irini, one of our local guides, says, ‘Donkeys are the most common transport on Hydra, and you’ll see them lined up like taxis, waiting to carry your heavy cases or shopping bags for you. For the island’s population, they are an essential part of the infrastructure, and they definitely add charm to the port town.’
After pick-up from your hotel, we’ll travel to the port of Ermoni. Once aboard the boat, you can sit back and soak up some sunshine as we sail across the Saronic Gulf to Hydra. There’s so much history in this part of the Aegean, as it was an important ancient trade route. Irini says, ‘Hydra’s prosperity grew in the 18th and 19th centuries, when it became a major hub for shipping and trade in the Eastern Mediterranean. The island’s skilled sailors and shipbuilders established Hydra as a dominant force in the maritime industry.’
When you arrive at the car and motorbike-free island of Hydra, you’ll have free time to explore. You can linger in the harbour to spot colourful fishing boats bobbing on the sea, stroll past sugar cube houses on the hillside, or venture into the town’s maze of cobbled alleys for a coffee or some shopping.
