Why is Hydra distinctive among the Greek islands?+
Hydra has banned all cars and motorcycles since 1956 — the island uses only mules, bicycles and water taxis. The entire town is a preserved 18th-century shipbuilding settlement, and the island has been the discreet retreat of the Athenian shipping elite (Niarchos, Lemos, Goulandris families) and a long-established artist colony since the post-war era (Leonard Cohen lived here from 1960). The no-vehicle character makes Hydra one of the most distinctive Saronic destinations.
