HYDRA MOUNTAIN HIKE

HYDRA MOUNTAIN HIKE – PROFITIS ILIAS MONASTERY

or explore the island at your own leisure. 

Thursday 24th September | Approx. 2pm–6pm
£15 per person + *€15 return ferry

For those who fancy a little more adventure, join us as we discover the wilder side of Hydra with a beautiful mountain hike up towards the historic Monastery of Profitis Ilias, high above Hydra Town on the slopes of Mount Eros.

The route takes us through Hydra’s cobbled streets before climbing onto stone paths and mountain trails.

It is a proper uphill hike, but the rewards are worth it!

Along the way - and from the chapel and monastery area high above Hydra - you’ll be treated to incredible panoramic views across the sea, Hydra and the Saronic Gulf. 

At the top, we’ll have time to enjoy the peaceful surroundings, take in those spectacular views and visit the historic monastery before making our way back down into Hydra Town.
