"A good example of a small island that preserves local heritage and fisherman activities. It appeals mainly to those who want to discover the traditional and authentic essence of the Greek way of life."
"Continually under the onslaught of tourists. It has weathered these pressures in a proactive manner and remains competitive."
"Hydra takes preservation seriously and has maintained a village scale and architectural forms that feel very authentic. Since no cars are allowed, the island has retained its original streetscape. Easy to access by ferry from Piraeus, so it's tremendously popular and has a thriving nightlife. Most of the hotels are small, thankfully."
