About Hydra / FAQ & Tips

As a vehicleless island built into the side of a mountain, visitors to Hydra will to do a good bit of walking, if not outright climbing.

Be sure to bring comfortable shoes for walking, and ladies in high heels beware. Also, please note that years of foot traffic have polished the cobblestones to a high sheen in places. Try to step on the cement between stones to avoid slipping.
