Paouri Photographic Exhibition
Kelsey Edwards • 24 March 2018
Many congratulations to Sotiris & Kiki for their excellently presented Paouri Photographic Exhibition which opened last night. For those who weren't able to come to the opening party, the exhibition in the Paouri House between the Isalos and Skipper cafes on the harbour front, will be open every day from 11:00 until the 5th April.
Exhibition of photos collected by Madame Paouri, and preserved by members of her family was a fascinating insight of life on Hydra during the early 50's.

Hydra hit carnival mode at full blast with a smashing turn out, some really good new costumes and everyone had lots of fun. The 2nd of March 2025, was a warm, bright day, very spring like with no rain. Everyone gathered in Votsi Square from 14:30 and once the music horse (impressively calm and seemed to understand that it wasn't a riot) had fully functioning speakers, the procession set off at about 15:00.

The lovely Anastasia is making quite a few changes for 2025 and is still busy in anticipation of the new season. To keep everything as fresh and clean as possible, she's moved the fruit and salad produce inside clearing many of the stands and umbrellas from the street. Her biggest innovation though is the introduction of her takeaway smoothie and fruit salad bar. All will be made with fresh ingredients to order and will be a smashing addition to your beach or hiking picnic hamper. Freshly prepared smoothies & fruit salads alongside all your supermarket grocery shopping. Open 7 days a week. Free deliveries. Contact Anastasis from her listing on the Hydradirect Directory.

The final changes have been confirmed for future GGV applicants. Personally, I don't think Hydra will really benefit as the already low full-time population of the island means that the investment value has been discounted. Given that sellers have already been marketing their real estate for much higher than the threshold, it's not going to make a huge difference.
