Reaching the harbor...
|
From
your very first visit, a magic feeling surrounds you.
Perhaps it's in the unique architecture and graphic scenes
throughout the Island, or perhaps it's in its long history
and rich heritage, or even - a fusion of all.
A stroll through the town's picturesque cobble stone streets,
will convince you of its uniqueness. |

The town which is the centre
of the whole island, is built amphitheatrically around the port.
It looks glamorous like an art-paint, with grey, white and blue colours above
the blue of the sea,
an exemplar of architectonics
and aesthetics.
Right and left from
the entrance
of the port, there are the
Parapets with the Canons,
which protected the town. |
At
the left side of the port,
after the statue of A. Miaoulis,
we can find the Harbour Authorities of Hydra,
which are accommodated in the old,
stonebuilt powder magazine.
Next to the Harbour
Authorities
is the marble Archive Building
of Hydra and further we find
the house of Tsamados family, which accommodates
the famous Sea Captain Academy. |

characteristic of Hydra is that there are no wheeled
vehicles and
the transportation of people is being made only by donkeys,
a thing that makes the Island even more romantic.

is filled with little and big yachts, boats and cruisers. |
