ROUTES


In spite of the fact that the name Hydra bespoke the island's wealth in springs in the past, today it is a rocky, arid and thirsty land. A road runs up from the town to the convent of Agia Matrona, dating from 1865, a characteristic example of the island's monastic architecture.

Hydra

Eros peak offers a panoramic view of the harbor and of the Saronic Gulf in one direction and of the Myrtoon Sea in the other. North of Cape Rigas, on the Bay of Agios Konstantinos and around the chapel of the same name, potsherds, from the Mycenean up to the after Roman era, were discovered since it had been the island's harbor for the ships sailing in Cyclades.

There are two ways of getting to Kammina on foot: after you climb the stairs in Navarhou Kriezi Street, and pass the square building of Hydra's central market, go down the gully towards the great Kamini. The other way is along the seaside.

Setting out on the left side of the harbor and walking along the seaside, a distance of half an hour, will lead you to the small, picturesque port of Vlihos.

The medieval bridge on the road to Molos and the medieval ceramics that were found in the area, are evidence that the region was never uninhabited. An unpaved road from Molos leads to the country houses of Episkopi, surrounded by a wonderful pine forest.
