To get around Hydra, the car-free island, you can use the following methods:
On Foot: Most attractions and the main town are walkable, with coastal paths connecting beaches and villages.
Donkeys or Mules: These are traditional vehicles for transporting luggage and reaching hillside homes. They are available at the port for the ferry arrivals!
Water Taxis: These are the main motorized transport for the coast and coastal villages. They operate from Hydra Port and are a fun way to reach beaches and isolated areas - try to agree a fare before you board.
Ferries to other islands: You can take a ferry from Hydra to both Poros and Spetses - two or three islands for the price of one!
The island has a ban on vehicles, so renting cars or using ride-sharing apps is not allowed.
These methods provide a unique way to explore Hydra, preserving its serene atmosphere.
