In reply to Rachel. Dear Rachel, so good to hear from you! Poros and Hydra are both great islands but very different. So it depends on what you are more interested in. Hydra has no cars and has a lot of cultural monuments and museums. Poros, on the other hand, is a more natural island great for hiking and sailing. Poros is more budget friendly but has cars and the distances are larger. For shopping, galleries and food, I would recommend Hydra. For boating and paths I would recommend Poros. My personal favorite is Hydra. Let me know if you have any further questions!!

I’m debating between either Poros or Hydra for an upcoming trip in April. Which one would you recommend?

In reply to Louis Pistorius. Thank you so much Louis for your kind words and your recommendation for Mandraki! Real experiences and tips from locals are what I am always trying to represent. I would love to see Desiree's work, I may have already seen it. You are so blessed that you get to visit both Hydra and amazing Crete this summer! We are uploading information about Crete on our blog in the coming weeks so we would love to hear your tips or experiences when you are there this summer. Thanks again for taking the time for leaving a comment. Have a summer in Greece!

Hi Celeste,
In August’18 we will be visiting Hydra for the sixth year running. My wife’s cousin from Australia,spends her summers in Hydra where we join her for a week or so either at the end of our trip or,like this year,at the beginning. She stays in Mandraki which is the small bay before you get to Hydra when you travel from Piraeus. Mandraki is a very pleasant two and a half kilometer walk from Hydra Town or ten minutes by water taxi. There is only the one taverna in Mandraki but well worth the visit. The cousin,Desiree, is a well known artist and most locals in Hydra know her.
This year she will join us when we go to Crete.
Your beautiful photos and comments about Hydra, heightens the anticipation to go to the Greek Islands again! Thank you so much Celeste!
