A marvelous Easter getaway in Hydra island
An island so beautiful and picturesque as Hydra island is, could only but be in the list of top destinations in Greece for a marvelous Easter getaway.
Easter time in Hydra will offer you an unprecedented experience within a highly spiritual and calming ambience.
Bearing such rich and glorious history, the island of Hydra has its own set of customs and traditions for the festivities of Easter, which the visitor will not see elsewhere in Greece.
During the Holy Week it is really worthy to watch the various religious liturgies that take place in the evenings, with the most important being that of the procession of the Epitaph in the quarter of Kamini within Hydra town. There are four Epitaphs in total in Hydra island, which after their procession they will all meet-up at the port in the presence of all the locals and hundreds of visitors. A spectacle that you are certainly not to miss. On Easter Sunday you will also be able to see the burning of the imitation of Judah – the disciple of Jesus that betrayed him.
