Best beaches of Hydra

Hydra has generally very small and rocky beaches but with very clean water. The island is chosen by tourists not so much for beach life but for its social life. However, I will still list the main beaches starting from the port and going around the island clockwise.

Busy pebble beach, equipped, crowded, reachable on foot from the port in half an hour, located in a rocky cove with two monasteries behind, with natural shade and beautiful transparent sea. Water sports can be practiced.

Limnioniza
Long gravel beach with a small islet in front, equipped, also reachable on foot from the port, with shallow and transparent sea. Water sports can be practiced.

Aghios Nikolaos

Bitsi
Small and pretty pebble beach, surrounded by rocks, equipped, with natural shade, shallow, colorful, and transparent sea. Water sports can be practiced.
