The temperature was 42 degrees. The natives said that for the end of june is just normal situation. We stayed overnight in privat hotel in Tolo near Nafplio. Next day in the early morning (at 8:00) my girl-friend and me went with car to Hydra. Because Hydra is island we plan trip from Tolo - Ancient Epidavros - Ermioni by car (80 km 2 houres) and from Ermioni - Hydra by boat.
Well the plan had misstake. When we arrived port in Ermioni, the ferry boat has allready depart . So many kilometer and time for almoast nothing. It was 10:00 a clock and next departure of boat should be at 15:00 ....oooughhh. After first scok, anger, bear and cheas cake we continue trip from Ermioni to Porto Cheli. We did not forgot that we planed trip on Hydra, so we ran to the first Sheep Office asked for boat depart to Hydra. This time we had to have luck. Depart of hydrofoil should be in 30 minutes. Yesssssss. Let s go to Hydra. Hydrofoil was almost empty and sailyng was very atratctive specialy landing in port.
We arrived Hydra port in one and a half houre and get out in the hustle and bustle of the town. A tiny harbor ringed with cafes, restaurants and gold shops is surrounded by a village of stone houses and villas that rise up the hills like an amphitheatre. But one of the best things about Hydra is that there are no cars. Everything is moved by donkey, including groceries, building supplies, people and their luggage.
Magical Hydra, where there are three new properties, is an island which, with its stunning architecture and absence of motor vehicles, is a must for those looking to completely chill-out. The Hotels and Studios on Hydra, are good choices for couples looking for total privacy. They are set on the hill above the town and have superb views of the port. Price for the two bedroom studio is from £1872 including daily maid service.
