The road trip to Hydra via the Corinth canal was interesting and good to see another part of Greece. Hydra itself was lovely and we spent a happy day swimming a little, walking through the paths and alleyways and watching the world go by in the port. Anastasios was a great guide, providing us with lots of information but not bombarding us. There were nice touches such as drinks and a welcome koulouri. Particular praise must go to Anastasios for getting us home despite all major routes into Athens being closed due to an accident. He dealt with it calmly and made sure that our day ended well. It’s easy to be a tour guide when things are going well, but it’s good to know where the really good ones are in case things do go wrong!
Easy experiences is a great tour group. They were informative, very helpful, and accommodating. I will definitely use them on my next visit to Greece! Hydra is an amazing island. No cars, beautiful vistas, lovely restaurants and shops. And don’t forget the donkeys! You can hike the windy roads, and discover vantage points to see the deep blue sea. The architecture of the village and their personalized doors, add to the ambiance. It is a place where time seems to stand still. A must-do on a visit to Greece!
