Hydra
Hotels
 There are no giant hotels
in Hydra because of the island's traditional
nature which makes it against the law to build
anything new. You can only restore existing
buildings. But there are a number of smallish
hotels in historical buildings, among them
the
Bratsera
which is a converted sponge
factory in the middle of town. In my opinion
this is one of the nicest hotels in Greece and
would be my first choice. The hotel is like a
sponge museum and is full of antiques,
photographs and yes...even some sponges. It
has a beautiful swimming pool that looks like
it came straight out of ancient Greece and a
cafe-restaurant and a large room that can be
used for workshops, dance, yoga or small
conventions. Of course it has airconditioning
which is very helpful in August. It should
cost about $100 a night for a double and if
you can afford it then stay here. Otherwise
there are several other hotels and all of them
are nice and you will be just as happy in any
of them. It just depends on how much you want
to spend. You can get a list of them with
descriptions and prices and also book them

By the way...if
you are coming to Hydra in July or August book
early because since there are few hotels they
fill up quickly. That goes for Easter too. For
