Hydra — No Cars, Just Charm

#greekislandhopping Close to Athens but a world away, Hydra offers a perfect start or end to a Greek island-hopping trip. The island has no cars, only donkeys and cobbled lanes. I strolled along the harbour, watched yachts drift in, and ate fresh octopus by the sea. The sunsets here are cinematic. Hydra is more about vibe than activity — quiet mornings, lazy walks, art galleries, and perfect seafood. It’s where time slows down.
