Hydra island: Fishing and donkey rides in discovering the “Lady’ of the Saronic gulf

Hydra island: Fishing and donkey rides in discovering the “Lady’ of the Saronic gulf

The use of cars is prohibited on the island of Hydra, therefore its traditional character is further enhanced as mobility around the island is achieved on a donkey or on foot.

Take this opportunity and go on a donkey ride up to the hill where the church of Aghios Konstantinos cherishes magnificent panoramic views of Hydra town. At the top of the hill, the church bears the name of the island’s protector saint and it is actually said that the picturesque chapel now stands exactly where the saint’s house used to be.

Your expedition to the traditional side of Hydra has only just began. Captain Michalis, proud owner of a traditional fishing boat is a friendly persona of the island that will happily share with you his deep knowledge of its cherished secrets.

Joining him on his fishing boat, you will get the chance to catch fish on your own from the crystal clear waters of Hydra island and the Saronic Gulf. The boat excursion lasts for the whole day and by the end of it you will have acquired the art of fishing by the experts. What a marvelous idea to learn about a fisherman’s typical day by participating in the entire process!

Hotel Leto is, indeed, a proud representative of authentic hospitality on the island of Hydra. Enter its bright-white painted microcosm and enjoy good times characterized by decorative stylings to your outmost relaxation, as well as to beautiful surroundings and antique furnishings within a supremely interesting architectural setting.
