On the cosmopolitan and easily accessible island of Hydra, Hydra’s Chromata nestled in a quiet neighbourhood in the heart of Hydra town, with practically no steps, benefits from a prime location, close to the life the harbour of Hydra has to offer, yet far enough to remain peaceful, is the ideal island property for luxurious, relaxed and comfortable holidays all year round.

This 19th century, three level whitewashed stone house, has recently been masterfully restored and renovated so as to be converted into three completely independent and private apartments, each totally unique in its layout, design and character. It is a perfect blend of traditional and modern aesthetics.

Key materials used are stone, wood and marble. The apartments are named after their key colours, inspired by those used widely for years on the island. Much attention has been paid to the decoration and the overall style of each apartment, combining some fine antique furniture, with modern design elements, which altogether create a perfectly balanced ambience, unpretentious style and homely comfort.
