Expert guide to Hydra
A whaleback ridge looming from the sea, Hydra shot to fame in 1956 as the location for A Girl in Black, directed by Michael Cacoyannis, with an extra filip in 1957 for hosting Boy on a Dolphin, starring Sophia Loren.
Soon various foreign personalities (including Leonard Cohen) bought and restored property here, joining prominent Greeks who had long appreciated the island’s charms. Sumptuous mansions and humbler vernacular homes arrayed amphitheatrically around the marble-quayed harbour date from the 18th and 19th centuries, when Hydriot seafaring prowess brought great wealth. Despite its high-profile reputation, and the mid-day arrival of “One-Day Saronic Cruises”, the island remains endearingly time-warped: as a listed architectural reserve, all new construction is banned, and the town remains blissfully free of motor vehicles except for two small fire trucks and a few miniature rubbish trucks – photogenic donkeys (or mules) do most haulage.

Ochi Day on Hydra 2019 - Hydra Island Greece
Monday 28th October 2019 must be a record breaker for the most sun and highest temperatures for any Ochi day in the last 20 years.
It seemed as though the entire island came out to celebrate the day when Metaxa said OXI to Mussolini during WWII.
The port cats, with one persistent exception, fled to the side streets, mules were tethered off the port and cafes rearranged their tables and chairs to make way for the parade.
At 11, the racing yachts took off on the 2nd leg of this year's end of season regatta, by which time the church service and wreath laying was well underway.
While the children left the monastery to get into parade order, the 3 island cruise boat came in, leaning heavily to one side. While I got some photos, I gave the selfie stick to Pan who promptly misbehaved pretending to be a CNN reporter. (As you’ll see on the video.)
As usual the youngest children carried the Greek and Hydra flags leading the parade, proud to be included but looking a little overwhelmed.
Flags fluttered, snare drums rattled and those not holding their cameras, wore out their hands clapping for the full duration of this wonderfully good-natured event.
Hydra’s resident band played throughout and marched at the end of the parade bringing it to a close.
Thank you to all of Hydra for a marvellous morning.
