    There are no cars on the island. The mules are lined up waiting for customers.
    The streets are steep. No wonder the mules are needed for luggage etc.1Thought I would test the temperature before changing into my bathers.1An initial shock of cold but gorgeous water.Even Dominic braved the cold water.Not exactly comfortable for sun bathing.A long leisurely lunch until it was time to catch our ferry.Watching the world go by from our lunch spot.1So long,Hydra.

    Hydra day trip

    Jun 5–7 in Greece ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    Many years ago I read Peel Me a Lotus by Charmaine Clift about her time living on Hydra in the 1950's. And so I was really pleased to visit the island that she wrote so evocatively about.

    TravelerIt would have been amazing to live there in the 50s. It's such a beautiful island. You need a bravery medal for swimming in those temperatures!!! Very refreshing, I'm sure 😃
