There is no greater joy than to be on Hydra in late spring, when the wild flowers have blossomed. The Saronic island’s seven monasteries, representing its lesser-known religious side, are very good reason to go walking through the alleys and over the slopes. The late-night Holy Saturday Resurrection celebrations are reminiscent of the Miaoulia festival, held annually late in June to honor the admiral and politician Andreas Miaoulis, a Greek War of Independence hero. Everything on Hydra, from history and religion to architecture, blends beautifully. |
