Vlychos Beach on Hydra Island

Vlychos Beach, (sometimes written as Vlichos), in Hydra Island Greece is a well-established favourite with sun-worshippers. It's slightly more sandy and less pebbly than most of Hydra's other beaches which with shallow water close to the shoreline and a gently shelving beach it is a great favourite with families.

There are sunbeds and umbrellas to hire and of course, you can find your own patch of sun elsewhere because there's plenty of space. The operators of the sunbeds will also deliver take away coffees & drinks.

This beach is 1 kilometre going west along the coast from Hydra Harbour.

There is a fresh water shower at the back of the beach so you can rinse off salty sea water before you walk back to your hotel.

For refreshments, you'll find two places. A restaurant at the back of the beach, and a taverna overlooking the little Vlychos harbour, where the water taxis and beach boats pull in.

You can walk all the way from Hydra Harbour along the coast road or you can take the inland road out of upper Kamini village to walk through the pastures coming down to the beach under the distinctive Vlychos Bridge.

The beach boats from Hydra Harbour regularly service Vlychos Beach for those who don't want to walk.
