A Relaxing Day Trip to the Island of Hydra, Greece: An Island with No Cars Allowed || Greece Travel

- Hydra island is a quaint Greek island located about an hour and a half ferry ride, which makes it a great option for a day trip from Athens. Hydra does not allow cars or motorbikes so you can only get around by walking, donkey or boat. The island is small so this is not an issue and water taxis are available.
There is only one sandy beach in Hydra, Mandaraki Bay. You can swim off the rocks as well and there are places all over the island to do this from.
At the end of the video I talk about the things I needed to get on the ferry. I now know why I didn't need a test to go back to Athens from Hydra and that is because it is the same regional unit as Athens!
Here is the best explanation I can find on ferries/flights to and from the Greek islands. realgreekexper...

I love Greek islands and the sparking Mediterranean Sea. Thanks for transporting me there.
You’re welcome. Glad I could take you there.
You are doing such a great job when showing and talking about places in Greece. I was in Hydra years ago and loved every minute of it. The early morning breakfast, the sun, the beautiful narrow streets. Even having a frappe or listening to music with all the scenery around was such a experience. And of course their history.
Thank you so much! Hydra is beautiful and so much history for such a small island.
Had the pleasure of visiting Hydra in 2019 on my Europe trip. It was my favourite place we went. Awesome vid 👏
I am so glad you loved it. Thank you!
The color of the water is just breathtaking! 😍
This made we want to visit Greece in September or October. Thanks for this excellent video.
That makes this all worthwhile! Thank you. I hope the other videos will help you plan your trip as well.
I love Greek pharmacies en boutiques they have awesome stuff. The weekend life is what my husband cries about he misses travelling to a different island just for a day.!
Aren’t they amazing! I am hoping to make a video on them once I find a few that will let me film. It is nice to go for the day but I was tired when I finally got home.
This looks great....We just went to Zakynthos & Lefkada - that water is amazing!
It is great! Lefkada is stunning. Glad you are enjoying it.
I love quiet islands like this! I definitely will visit when I come to Greece
It is so nice! Definitely worth visiting.
You need to go to Skopelos (part of the Sporades). It's the greenest island of all Greek islands and importantly where Mamna Mia wss filmed. Beautiful green meets the blue with gorgeous beaches. I was working remotely from there for 5 months in 2022.
Great video Tiffany, it was great to get some insight into Hydra island, yet another place on my very long Greek list! My only little criticism is that I wish your videos were a little longer so that I can linger a little longer in my spiritual home! :)
Thank you! Haha! I will try to make them a bit longer. 😊
We were literally there today, very nice.
Hope you enjoyed it!
One day I’ll come over and we will watch boats and dine together and it will be glorious ❤️
Sounds amazing! Can’t wait.
We went to Hydra a few years ago (following Rick Steves advice) and loved it! If you see his shows, Hydra is one of the last shots when they roll credits, Rick is having a drink watching the sunset (at the restaurant right near the rocky beach). Funny though, I don't see any cats in your video!! 😂
I sometimes have cats in my videos but not all. 😊
I went to Hydra in 2019...gorgeous
This was my second time. It’s a beautiful spot.
Thanks for the video of your visit to Hydra. I Love Hydra, though it’s been decades since I last visited . It and Naxos are the two islands on my list for next Summer; I’m trying to see if I can also squeeze Cephalonia in also.
Stay safe!
You’re welcome! I hope you can get to all of them then!
Awesome! We're doing a day trip from Athens in early July.
You will love it.
Thank you so much!😊
You’re welcome
Beautiful video and magnificent color of the sea.
Thank you!! Isn’t it great!
@@agirlandherpassport Yes, indeed. It is great! I hope to see 🇬🇷Greece with my own eye's. Thank U, Tiffany for your job👍🤩
I hope you can as well!!
@@agirlandherpassport I hope so. This pandemic will be over some day. I will try next year
I hope so!
Hardalias said on the return from the islands to the mainland there is a strong recommendation to present a negative test (or vacc cert) but it is not the same as travelling from the mainland to the islands where it is a requirement. Therefore the coast guard usually won't ask for the documents when you return from the island.
I think if you are going islands in a different region it is but I think it isn’t being enforced. I am probably going to go to the islands again in September so I will see what it’s like then. Thanks!!
very nice video thanks
You’re welcome!
It was great going to Hydra again. We were there on a 3 island tour back in 2018. Thank you! BTW, Is you vaccine card on your phone or do you have to show the actual card?
You’re welcome! The Greece and EU ones are digital. You can print them is you want though.
Thanks for the great video. I'm headed there in about 5 weeks. Were you able to book the ferry right at the port or did you do it ahead of time?
You're welcome! I always book my ferry tickets in advance.
I wonder if you still need to show the vaccine certificate. I am coming to Athens in may and would love to visit Hydra. It looks beautiful.
No, that was dropped ages ago.
@@agirlandherpassport thank you for the info.
@@35Justme1 You’re welcome!
Good job
Thank you!
@@agirlandherpassport ty
Planning a day trip to Hydra next month…provided Greece will still be accepting American tourists!
I think for now, it is all fine. But keep checking as the EU keeps talking about it. Enjoy Hydra!
Very nice, Can you plz tell me How much does it cost to travel from Athens to Hydra ?
I don't remember what it was and the ferry prices have gone up this year. It is best to check on Ferry Hopper, www.ferryhopper.com/en/?aff_uid=grlps
Vary nic
Thanks
What is the cost of Hydra compared with other islands??
Hello! On the Blue Star Ferry to Hydra what is the difference between standard seat AK1 and Ak2?
I’m not sure but I think one is upstairs and the other is downstairs. But the seat is the same.

Thanks!
🙏😊
😊😊
I need to go down and check on the progress
@@agirlandherpassport 😂😂😂👍
What was the name of the restaurant with chairs? Can you hang out for a while?
My concern about going swimming is leaving my belongings unattended.
Do people speak English or understand you here?
Yes, most Greeks speak some English and many due fluently.
Ugh. I won't have a printer to print out the ferry vaccine info. I have myvaccine US certificate.
i mean, i have my CVS vaccine card from USA.
They can give you the form to fill out at the port. Don’t worry. And the vaccine card is fine. You’re good!
