Hydra, Greece: Car-Free Island, Harbor, and Mansions

Hydra is a car-free island in the Saronic Gulf, a short hop from Athens. This video covers the harbor, the stone mansions, and the donkey paths that replace roads. Red-tiled houses drop to the port, and goods still move by mule or on foot. It is a day trip or a quiet overnight, not a beach-resort island and not the Cyclades route.
