Unusual island for Greece due to no cars, motorbikes allowed...
Unusual island for Greece due to no cars, motorbikes allowed—we loved it. (Donkeys and mules carry heavy loads) Small city of Idra totally walkable. Fantastic small restaurants there especially a block or so away from the port. Expect to pay more for water taxis to get to other parts of the island. Be sure to visit nearby cultural-art focused centers/museums. 2-3 days max unless you want quiet and privacy to write your novel or compose music. Clothing and souvenir shops are much more expensive than 10 islands we have visited over the years. No airport also keeps tourist # lower than other islands. We saw many families with young children, couples of all ages, and single travelers taking in the island’s beauty. There are no beautiful sandy beaches to enjoy, though. Mandraki, the one sandy beach had dull brown sand, super calm water and appeared to be “owned” by a 5-star resort. There were no signs that this beach was public. But you can go through the resort gate and buy something to eat or drink. It’s 2km NE of the port. The walking path is paved and has beautiful seaside views, including the large golden Apollo wind-spinner. Very romantic island.

This was a great place to visit in April for a quiet and relaxing vacation. There were plenty of tourist in the port area but we didn’t see many people in on the various walking trails on the island.
The beaches were small but beautiful. It was a little windy but the temperature was just right in the mid-day sun.
There were several topless bathers at the various beaches and few children.
The beaches have lots of slippery round rock near the shore so it is difficult to walk into the water. The water was clear and cool and the waves were mild.
I didn’t think much of the dining options in Hydra so we purchased fresh produce at the various grocers near the port.
The tap water is sourced from desalination plants so make sure to get plenty of bottled water (to drink) from the local grocery stores.
They really do utilize donkeys to carry heavy loads from the port. They often leave a mess on the walkways so make sure to watch your step.
The island has beautiful inland views and ocean views. The elevation change is mild so it is easy to take long walk through the various trails.
We had no trouble traveling to and from the island. The port is small so it is easy to find your ferry.
We loved our stay in Hydra. It was just the relaxing trip that we were seeking.

Fun island to explore. No cars allowed!
Fun island to explore. No cars allowed! We only had1 night there due to our itinerary, so this fit the bill due to close proximity to Athens. Had a great sunset dinner at Sunset Grill. Tour of the Lazaros Koundouriotis Mansion was awesome, as was home of artist Tetsis.

Hydra is a wonderful place for scenery-gazing and long quiet walks (soundtrack: goat bells, cocks crowing and the occasional donkey bray) - past the monasteries, to the peak of Mount Eros, or across and a scramble down to Limnioniza Beach which we had entirely to ourselves... Our two best meals were both at Techne, where the food is technically accomplished, harmonious and subtle. Jeff Koons' Apollo Wind Spinner at the Deste Project Space Slaughterhouse is a fun diversion on the road to Mandraki. And the many cats seem by and large in good health and well tended thanks to Hydra Ark.

Charming island in a 2 hour ferry ride from Piraeus.
Charming island in a 2 hour ferry ride from Piraeus. Lots of waterside cafes and other restaurants in the center. Nice easy walks along the water, or steeper hikes up the hillside. Many shops. A good place for relaxing.

What I liked the most is that there were no cars, you can go everywhere on foot, very picturesque, quite, the people are friendly and polite, the food was great a bit expensive in elegant restaurants though.
I would like to go again!
Very helping hosts, told us everything about the island and offered some beaches to go and the best restaurants. Also, they checked us in a bit earlier. Comfortable and clean room, large bathroom (sleepers, soap, shampoo and shower gel provided). There's also some tea/coffee in your room and a big bottle of water in the fridge from the hotel. The location is just perfect, only 2 minutes walking from the port but not in a busy and loud street, all the restaurants and super markets are nearby. The first beach is about 7 minutes away.
I cannot recommend this place enough. The host was absolutely lovely, she met us down at the port, stocked the fridge for us and was very helpful...but also conscious to give us space. The house is perfect if you are looking for more than a hotel room, you feel like you are living in Hydra for a moment in time. Set back from the port on a lovely square it's quiet but still close to everything. It's also on the flat part of the port so no real steps to navigate. We'll come and stay here again 10/10.
We had a lovely stay at Hotel Kirki. The room was renovated, clean, fresh and bright with comfortable beds and a modern bathroom. The staff was very polite and accomodating. The hotel is just off the main road, a short walking distance from the port. It's an ideal location for shopping, eating and sightseeing but also at a safe distance from the hustle and bustle.
I would highly recommend Hotel Kirki to visitors and would love to stay there when I visit Hydra again.
The hotel is located in the port area. Our room had an awesome view of the port. There was also a rooftop area where we had breakfast. The breakfast was great and the view from there was amazing. I believe the rooftop area could be accessed during the day. We were only on Hydra overnight so we were not able take advantage of that. Next time we will definitely stay more than 1 night. The staff was also very helpful with beach and restaurant recommendations.
The hotel is absolutely stunning. It’s tastefully decorated in a historic style. The hotel is spotless and we loved access to drinking water for free all day. The breakfast was also one of the best hotel breakfasts I’ve ever had, coffee, fresh fruit, excellent eggs and bread. Hydra is absolutely gorgeous and this was the ideal base to explore the island. I want to come back every year!
The two proprietors are natives of Hydra, a font of information, extremely welcoming and very helpful. The hotel is a beautifully renovated building right on the harbour front, that miraculously looks even better in real life than the photos. The home cooked breakfast was a feast and we could take it up to our balcony to eat while we watched the world go by beneath
This hotel is an institution, an old sponge factory turned into a hotel. No wonder it won a European Heritage Award 20 years ago. Some may judge some of the rooms a bit small or rudimentary, but that is part of the Bratsera adventure. I come here if there’s availability on all my Hydra visits. Friendly and competent staff. Excellent bteakfasts.
The accommodations are exceptional. The service was excellent. We were met at the ferry by our host. Our luggage was taken via donkey to the hotel, and we rode a water taxi. I love that the hotel is not right downtown. It’s more quiet. There is a lovely beach just down the road plus another one a bit further. The view is spectacular!
Breakfast was perfect, room really clean and nice. Location calm and beautiful. The owner really made our stay in Hydra special. We had bad luck with other hotel and she helped us. In Mistral Hotel they really know excellent customer service. We really appreciate the way she handled our situation and made our stay in Hydra amazing!
Beautiful boutique hotel. Attentive staff. Spacious rooms. Close to bars and restaurants. Hydra town is steep and there are a lot of steps up to the hotel, but if you are reasonably fit and hire a mule to take your luggage up to and down from the hotel, you will have no problem.
Lovely small family hotel , easy to get to from the port, The family who run hotel were welcoming and told us where to visit on our trip. I loved the breakfast every morning, it was different every day and was always delicious .?
The location was very convenient to restaurants,stores and the port.
The donkeys in a line going down the hill in front of the hotel on the way to work was
one of the best parts of my stay
Overall quality of the premises and service quality of the staff. Ioanna at the reception, she is exceptional!
The 5star hotel at Hydra, such a tiny Island, can’t be better.
The location was superb and Hydra was just beautiful. The hotel and our room were lovely although the bathroom was rather tired. Good choice at breakfast.
