Greece: Hydra

An easy ferry ride from the enormous Port of Piraeus, the Greek island of Hydra (pronounced ee-drah) is a delightful change from the hustle and bustle of Athens…

Let’s go!

Sharing the crossing with some colorful and sleepy characters
Upon arrival, one cannot help but slow down to the natural speed of life..
Roam the serpentine alleys and see what you discover…
Cars and trucks are nowhere to be found. Donkeys do the heavy lifting (including collecting the garbage)…
Feral cats are everywhere…
perfectly healthy and approachable…
all seemingly very well fed and cared for…
so much so that the pigeons have no need to fear them!
a place where dandelions are salad, not weeds!
