The town itself represents a big sample of our traditional inheritance. Simple houses or country seats, differentiate from a quaint architecture which is not met in other Greek regions.

Orthogonal parallelepiped with ceramic roof, flint cornice, high-ceiling with arches, with embossed interior decoration, and painted wooden ceilings. We will also see cisterns, and marble sources. In the old days, Hydraian furniture had a good fame which also gave glory to noble houses.

The individual Hydrian corners with the beautiful paved alleys and the floriated houses complete the beauty of Hydra and give her its identity

It will be worth it for anyone to visit the mansions of the island, look far away the port from the hill, admire the sunset from the "lodge" and the cave and visit the 6 monasteries and the 300 churches. Especially the twin monasteries of Saint Efpraksia and of the prophet Elias, the monastery of the assumption and the churches of Ypapanti and Saint John the faster. Last but not least the Historical File-Museum, which operates daily and shows important museum jewels and archival items.
