Hydra Greece is a beautiful island lying in the archipelago called the Argo-Saronic. It is very popular island because of its extremely picturesque capital, full of red-tiled houses and stone-paved narrow alleys. Hydra Town capital and port of the island is the only true village of the island. This is mostly due to the fact that the whole island is closed to any kind of motorised vehicles and doesn’t have any roads, except from donkey paths. The town is a paradise-like place, protected by a special preservation order. Most of the beaches on Hydra Greece are mostly places with flat rocks or pebbled bays with deep, clean waters. In terms of water sports, only the private beach of Mandraki has a windsurfing centre open to public. The best coves are scattered on its southern coast.
