STEP INTO THE PAST
Taking only 1 ½ hours from the port of Pireus to reach Hydra via high speed ferries, if you are like most people and are visiting Greece for a limited time but wish to experience one of her islands as well as traditional Greek architecture, then staying at The Heritage Home on the Island of Hydra then is sure to far than satisfy your desire.
For over 60 years, Hydra has long been the island of choice among the cosmopolitan, artists and travelers alike. Noted for the many glorious 18th century villas which make up the amphitheater of its harbour town, Hydra is the most popular of the Saronic islands, and one of the most visited islands of Greece. Being one of the few places in the world where no cars or motorbikes are allowed, many donkeys and water taxis are available for transportation.
The Hyrda Island Heritage home is one of the magnificent 200 year old stone villas which adorn the dockside town. Located less than 70 meters from the port, nestled within the excitement and spice of Hydra’s historic nuance, living in this regal, yet delicate villa with it’s solid stone walls, hand painted floor tiles, carved marble sinks, and wooden carved ceilings returns you to the heart of old time Hydra.
LOCATION:
Southern area of the Saronicos Bay
Following the islands of Aegina and Poros
1 ½ hours from Pireus Port, Athens via High speed Ferries
30 miles from Athens
Home located in the island’s main town of Hydra
Located within 70 meters of Dock
Nestled with the charming networks of ally ways the Harbour Town is famous for
Cafe's, restaurants, shops all within walking distance
If you wish to experience authentic 18th century Greece, I highly, highly recommend staying here… not only because of the Heritage of the home and its tasteful decor and antiques… but also because, by not allowing any motor vehicles, the island of Hydra is one of the few places in Europe which has retained its original “old time” ambiance.
