In more details

Embark on a memorable hiking journey through the heart of Hydra, beginning at the island’s picturesque port.
Wander through peaceful, car-free lanes lined with traditional stone houses before ascending the cobbled path to Saint Konstantinos Church, where sweeping views of the harbor unfold below.
The trail then leads you into a tranquil pine forest and onward to the historic Monastery of Prophet Elias, set at 480 meters. This serene landmark—once the place where Greek hero Theodoros Kolokotronis was imprisoned—offers both natural beauty and a touch of history.
Enjoy a small local treat at the monastery before continuing your ascent to Mount Eros, Hydra’s highest peak at 588 meters. At the top, take in an awe-inspiring 360° panorama of the island, the Myrtoan Sea, and the Saronic Gulf—a rewarding blend of nature, heritage, and adventure.
