Hydra Anchorage
✨ Hidden gem
The go-to anchorage for Hydra is Mandraki Bay, a wide, sheltered bay just east of the car-free town. You drop anchor here and catch a water bus into Hydra Town during peak season, putting you steps from the famous port, donkeys, and hillside stone mansions. It's a lively spot in summer, so arrive early to claim your patch of the sandy-bottomed bay.
