Hydra alternative experience (1-3 pax)

The beautiful port of Hydra, rich in history and cosmopolitan
fame

Horse riding through the
town’s cobbled streets

A sea-taxi ride, swimming in crystal clear waters and
a delicious Greek lunch (not included in price) at a
seaside taverna

Sightseeing in this historic location, an
important center during the 1821 Greek War of Independence

At the port of Piraeus, you’ll board the Flying Dolphin for
a quick and comfortable hydrofoil ride to the harbor
town of Hydra. Once you reach the island you’ll be amazed by the
local landscape that has made it a favored retreat of jetsetters and
rock stars such as Maria Callas, Leonard Cohen, Eric Clapton, The
Rolling Stones, Picasso and many more.

Then it’s time to saddle up for a family-friendly ride through the town’s
different neighborhoods, because the best way to explore Hydra is on the back of a horse, the island’s traditional means of
transportation (no cars allowed!).

After your ride through town, you’ll return to the harbor to board one of the island’s famed water taxis, the easiest
and the most exciting way to reach the island’s best
beaches. Foremost among these is Plakes Beach, equipped with
sun-loungers and umbrellas, where you’ll be heading for hours of fun in the sun and the crystal-blue sea, as well as a
delicious lunch at the seafront taverna right
at the water’s edge.

Following lunch, it’s back to Hydra Town for a
second trip, this time on foot, down the maze-like side streets and
by-ways where you’ll spot artists’ workshops, stylish
boutiques, and a number of well-preserved historic residences, some of which, once owned by important
figures in Greece’s 19th-century struggle for independence, are now museums.
Hydra has evolved to a cultural hub, where
innovative exhibits, hip happenings and events with international appeal
attract famous visitors from all over the world each summer.

Your stroll will end at a family-run pastry shop that’s
famous for the local sweet (made from almonds) known as amygdalota, and for its
rich and delicious homemade ice cream. As you finish your treat on the
shaded veranda of the pastry shop, you’ll be ready to leave
the island with more than just a sweet taste on your lips; you’ll have the long-lasting memory of a special day spent on this
little gem of an island.
