Hydra Port at night, taken from the terrace of the fabulous Hydrea Hotel. Hydra is a UNESCO heritage site and all the buildings are traditional with no modern architecture. Cars, motorcycles and bikes are not allowed on the island and public transport is quite literally by donkey or mule #LifeAtExpedia

Modern rooms and good location near the town. The family room is on the 2nd floor which isn't ideal if you have a pram. Also, we found the mattress to be uncomfortable. A better quality mattress and a lift would make this place 10/10
