Sunset house in Hydra

Our parents build this wonderful house in the traditional architecture of Hydra. The house is located in the picturesque fisherman's harbour of Kamini, more quiet and peaceful compared to the lively and cosmopolitan port of Hydra. It is 15 min walk from the central port of Hydra (along a scenic road next to the sea) or 3 min by water taxi. The house is only 90 steps(usually are more than 200) from the Kamini sea side road but the spectacular view from the terrace make it worth the effort.

The house with the blue door

Hydra house with a blue door-a traditional old house built in the eighteen hundreds and turned by our family to a summer house in the 80s. The house is situated at the foot of the hill of Hydra's town which gives it the advantage of a good view without the steep steps most houses have to get to and is a 7-10 minutes walk from the harbor. As you climb the few steps to the house you reach a veranda the size of the house with a panoramic view spreading from the mountain till the sea.
