Wreck Cove
You'll find Wreck Cove on Hydra's rugged coastline, where the dramatic rocky shoreline creates a sheltered spot with good holding in sand and mud. The anchorage gets its intriguing name from maritime history, and while the seabed offers reliable anchoring, you'll want to check conditions as the cove can be exposed to certain wind directions. The wild, unspoiled setting makes it a quieter alternative to Hydra's busy main harbor, with crystal-clear waters ideal for swimming and snorkeling.
