Port of Hydra

Hydra’s harbour is the main point of arrival for visitors travelling by sea and an important connection for island residents. Passenger services from Piraeus link the town with the mainland, bringing travellers directly to the waterfront beneath its historic buildings.

The harbour also receives visiting yachts and other small craft. Mooring arrangements fall under the local port authority, and water supply is coordinated through the municipal port service. Passenger arrivals and recreational boating therefore share a relatively compact area beside the town.

Sea access supports the island’s visitor economy, from accommodation and restaurants to local boat trips. The harbour’s position within the settlement makes it part of everyday town life as well as a transport facility, with arrivals stepping ashore close to the businesses that serve them.
