If you have never been to Hydra, you would not know that it is an uphill climb on cobblestone everywhere you go. Definitely have a donkey carry your luggage unless you travel very light. Do not expect modern conveniences on an island: microwave, dryer, drip coffee maker, things marked in English, etc. The beauty of the place is its old world charm. We were uptight about a lot of missing conveniences but learned to embrace the culture.

Great stay in Hydra

Lovely house and nice to be in a more traditional home, but still comfortable and lots of space (good for a family). Especially loved the outdoor spaces. Liked that it was in a quiet area, but still easily accessible to the harbor (yes, it is a bit of a steep climb up, especially with a suitcase, but just know that going in).

A lovely quiet house - be aware that it's a bit up the hill, so guests are likely to burn a few calories acquired at lunch or dinner! Fortunately Alex arranged a concierge to meet us off the ferry and help with luggage up the cobbled streets.

Large home

Traditional Greek dwelling. Nothing fancy but has everything you need. Farther up the hill than I had anticipated. Beds were very comfortable. Air conditioning worked amazing. Communication could have been a little better. For example I’m coming in as a tourist and didn’t understand I needed to find Piraeus bank to meet the concierge. Everyone else had signs at the port, so that was confusing. The keys for the exterior door were very hard to get in and out of. Mostly we hopped over the wall to enter and exit. They did have a washing machine which was amazingly helpful. Overall I’d give it a sold 4.25. 5 for actual space and 4 for how far away from town. You’d definitely need a mule or cart to bring your belongings.

Maison charmante mais ça monte...

Réservation faite 2 j avant notre arrivée, l hote a été très réactif pour répondre. Reçu par une personne parlant très peu l anglais, pas évident de se faire comprendre. La maison d extérieur est très charmante, l intérieur est plus ancien, notamment la minuscule Sdb qui mériterait vraiment une rénovation. Elle est située à une quinzaine de minutes du port, et ca monte ! Nous n avons pas croisé notre hôte et laissé les clés ennpartant. Séjour agréable, avec qqs travaux, ce serait encore mieux !

Hydra life at its best

The house is an easy walk from the port, and very convenient location. It's a beautiful cottage in a neighborhood that makes you part of life here. It was a perfect size for us and our teenage daughter, who had her own space. We love it, and will absolutely be back.
