Private Excursion to Hydra Island
Overview
Instead of just transferring you to Piraeus Port to catch the ferry, you will have the chance to kick back and enjoy the drive along the Saronic Gulf to the edge of Argolic region. We will catch the ferry to Hydra from the port of Metochi.
Picturesque HYDRA is rich in naval history against the Ottoman Empire! With her breathtaking port, promenade with donkeys, cafes, tavernas, restaurants, bars, cocktail lounges and boutique hotels, Hydra, provides a refreshing visit for her guests!
The air, refreshingly warm, with freshly baked pastries, carries the smell of the sea! Enjoy your espresso, frappé or cocktail and refresh yourself with a quick dip off the caldera.
