Irrespective of your personal preference or what you're used to at home, on Hydra you will without doubt walk more than you would ever expect! When it is said that all wheeled vehicles are banned on Hydra, it's really true. There are a few emergency vehicles and rubbish trucks but you don't really want a ride in either. So pack a pair a trainers or walking boots when you make your next trip.
Suggested Easy Routes To Get You Warmed Up
Start Hydra Harbour, up Mialouis Street to Kala Pigadi (Good Well) then up to Kiaffa just below the Ag. Konstandinos Church (Patron Saint of Hydra). Middle, inland road that goes all the way to Vlychos via the back of Kamini. Then back along the coastpath.
Start west corner of Hydra Harbour to the crossroads passing between the Boy on a Dolphin statue and the Sophia Loren windmill. Up to upper Avlaki. Haramis Windmill and the spectacular views. Back to town via Four Corners finishing at the Pirate Bar.
