Hydra is an island in the Saronic Gulf, known for preserving a traditional way of life free from motor vehicle traffic — movement is possible only on foot, by boat, or on the backs of donkeys. During the 18th and 19th centuries it was one of the most important maritime centers in Greece and played a significant role in the Greek War of Independence. Today it is known for its stone houses, narrow streets, small harbor, and peaceful atmosphere, making it one of the most visited islands near Athens.
