Where to Stay in Hydra with Kids

Hydra is one of the most unique islands in the Saronic Gulf and an ideal destination for a family getaway close to Athens. With no cars, charming cobbled streets and a relaxed pace of life, it offers a safe and enjoyable environment for families to explore and spend quality time together. You can easily reach Hydra by high-speed ferry from Piraeus in about 1.5–2 hours, making it perfect even for a short trip. To fully enjoy the island without rushing, we recommend staying for 2 to 4 nights.

Best spots

When choosing where to stay, Hydra Town (the port) is the most practical option, as you will be close to restaurants, cafés and water taxis that take you to nearby beaches. If you prefer a quieter setting, areas like Kamini and Mandraki offer a more relaxed atmosphere and are particularly family-friendly. Vlychos is another great option, with easier access to the sea and fewer crowds—ideal when travelling with children.
