Excellent overview of Hydra
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and personable. She asked questions and tailored our tour based on our responses. Hydra is small, and we’d already been here for 24 hours (and explored quite a bit on our own), but she still took us to places we hadn’t been. She shared interesting history that we would have never known. Highly recommend!
