All about the Island of Hydra - Greece HD Travel Channel
Arriving on the island of Hydra, we were invited into the office of the mayor of the island Dr. George Koukoudakis. He has been mayor since 1st of September 2014 and, the youngest mayor of Hydra since 180 years. After a warm welcome he told us everything worth knowing about the island. Dr. Koukoudakis gave us a historical overview and told us about the seafarers and sponge divers.
Hydra’s glorious history starts in the 18th century. 140 warships were built here, thats why, at the time the island had the nickname Small Britain.
A famous son of the island was Admiral Andreas Miaoulis, commander of the naval forces during the Greek War of Independence. His heart and the bones are buried in the Museum of Hydra. The museum is located in the Church of the Assumption. The building from the 17th century is at the same time cathedral of Hydra.
In 1749, the first Merchant Marine Academy in the world, still operating today, was founded. The tiny island is the birthplace of five Greek Prime ministers and of the first President of the Hellenic Republic.
In the past, Hydra has been declared by UNESCO as the best preserved Mediterranean island. This is why Richard Branson, owner of Virgin Atlantic received no planning permission for his hotel resort.
The island of Hydra is has a lot of popular festivals. Dr. Koukoudakis just mentioned some of them.
Easter is of great popularity with tourists not least because of the island’s unusual local customs. E.g. Good Friday, the Epitaph is submerged in the sea to bless the waters and bring luck to divers and seafarers.
The most famous resident of Hydra of our time is Leonard Cohen. He started his career on the island of Hydra. In the summer of 2015, his sons intend to organize a concert in his honor, here.
End of June is the Miaoulis Festival to honor the most important man of the Greek Revolution of 1821, Admiral Andreas Miaoulis. The three-day festival ends with fireworks and the symbolic burning of a Turkish flagship.

Bei unserem Besuch auf Hydra empfing uns der Bürgermeister der Insel, Dr. George E. Koukoudakis. Er ist seit 1. September 2014 im Amt und seit 180 Jahren der jüngste Bürgermeister der Stadt. Nach einer freundlichen Begrüßung erzählte er uns alles Wissenswerte über die Region. Er gab uns zuerst einen historischen Überblick über die Entwicklung, erzählte uns von Seefahrern und Schwammtauchern.
Die glorreiche Geschichte Hydra beginnt im 18. Jahrhundert. Hier wurde 140 Kriegsschiffe gebaut, deshalb hatte die Insel zur damaligen Zeit den Spitznamen Klein-Britannien.
Ein berühmter Sohn der Insel war Admiral Andreas Miaoulis, späterer Vizebefehlshaber der griechischen Flotte. Sein Herz und die Gebeine sind im Museum von Hydra beigesetzt.
Das Museum befindet sich in der Kirche Mariä Himmelfahrt. Das Gebäude aus dem 17.Jahrhundert ist gleichzeitig die Kathedrale von Hydra.
1749 wurde die Handelsmarine Akademie der Welt auf Hydra gegründet. Hier wird heute noch gelehrt. Die kleine Insel ist der Geburtsort von fünf griechischen Ministerpräsidenten und des ersten Präsidenten der Republik Griechenland.
Hydra wurde in der Vergangenheit von der UNESCO zur besterhaltenen mediterranen Insel erklärt. Deshalb erhielt auch Richard Branson, Inhaber von Virgin Atlantic, keine Baugenehmigung für sein Hotelressort.
Auf der Insel Hydra gibt es viele bekannte Feste. Dr. Koukoudakis erwähnte einige von ihnen.
Ostern ist vor allem wegen der lokalen Bräuche auch bei Touristen sehr beliebt. So wird z.B. am Karfreitag das Epitaph dem Meer übergeben. Es soll das Wasser segnen und den Tauchern und Seefahrern Glück zu bringen.
Berühmtester Bewohner Hydras unserer Zeit, Leonard Cohen, begann hier seine Karriere. Im Sommer 2015 wollen seine Söhne hier ein Konzert zu seinen Ehren veranstalten.
Ende Juni wird das Miaoulis Festival, zu Ehren des bedeutendsten Mannes der griechischen Revolution von 1821, gefeiert. Das drei Tage dauernde Festival endet mit einem Feuerwerk und der symbolischen Verbrennung eines türkischen Flaggschiffes.

SMILE YOUR WAY THROUGH LIFE || Wedding at Hydra Island of Greece
Laughs, teasing between friends and stories from the uni years, all the way until the wedding day.
How beautiful it is to have friends who have known you for so long! Who make fun of you and make you laugh. Who remind you not to take yourself too seriously. And then, it’s your turn to remind them stuff they have forgotten about you, maybe even more embarrassing than what they just said in front of everyone – friends and family! Two days in Hydra island where time has stopped in 1890. There are no cars, only horse-drawn carriages and donkeys that carry people and goods in the cobblestoned alleys and sea taxis waiting at the port to take you to a deserted beach where you can enjoy the sun and the sea!
Jennifer, the bride. What can I say that Tass hasn’t already said? There’s not much of it in the teaser but wait till you see the film! She has the brightest smile. A smile you can’t resist! Bright-eyed, with a captivating presence and a laugh that could melt even Scrooge’s heart. Tass, the groom. What can I say that his friends haven’t already said? The first time I saw him, he reminded me of Adrien Brody, the actor from The Pianist. But the happy version of him, a man whose life is falling into place perfectly! A man full of life, happy and with a brilliant sense of humor!
The first day began with us sailing around the island, enjoying our drinks – getting ready for the wedding day! It was an unforgettable day for all of us, especially for the couple! The ceremony was held on the roof of Hydra’s Historic Archives and Museum, a space that keeps the island’s history alive. Preparations were made in Hydrea hotel where everybody took their time and enjoyed themselves. We had a great time with the friends of the couple until it was time for the ceremony. The groom arrived there by boat while the bride walked around the port accompanied by her bridesmaids.
Everything was as it should be. Relaxed. In the moment. As if we were hanging out with friends. Maybe it’s one of the few weddings where the bride actually remembered everything after the ceremony was over (no déjà vu because of stress…). A day I enjoyed laughing with their jokes and their pleasant goofing around, their teasing and their partying! After the ceremony, we all went to Castello for the party. We couldn’t have asked for a better scenery. The setting sun painted the sky red, disappearing slowly into the blue sea. Pure magic.
Next morning I woke up with the sweet memory of Jenny and Tassos’ smiles as well as of all their friends and family. It was another wedding where the couple treated me as a friend! I was their friend and they were mine, we kept each other company (of course, they will keep me company for much more than two days since I have the video editing to do!)Thank you for these beautiful moments. I will always go back to these two days when I watch your wedding film. I hope you do too!

Hydra Ύδρα
Hydra is my favorite island among the islands near Athens, it takes about 1.5 hours from the port of Pireaus by Flying Cat / Dolphin, the island has traditional up and down roads suitable for walking or donkey rides, the only vehicles I saw in this island are the ambulance and the garbage collection truck (these special purpose vehicles can only pass thru some parts of the island). The island impressed me very much with its many nature trails. I found a detailed guide to this island in this link
