Travel Information

Getting to Hydra couldn't be easier. A short taxi or E96 bus ride from Athens International Airport will take you to the main port of Piraeus, about 45 minutes depending on the traffic. From the port you transfer to Hydra by flying dolphin or flying cat (hydrofoils) operated by Hellas, which you can book in advance from www.dolphins.gr or by catamaran, which you can also book in advance from www.Euroseas.com who offer particularly good discounts. Either option will take about 1.5 hours. Alternatively you can take a ferry which takes about 3.5 hours and gives you the opportunity to look at the Peloponnese coast line and the many little islands you pass on the way from the decks.

How to find us on Hydra

Once you're on Hydra, you can easily walk to the Alkionides Pension from the harbour but if you have heavy bags you might want to hire the services of a donkey to carry your luggage. The donkey men will meet you at the disembarkation area.
