HYDRA , one of the most beautiful Greek islands !!


HYDRA , one of the most beautiful Greek islands !!


Today , I had the chance to visit HYDRA with my dear friend Helen from U.K.
 

She absolutely loved the island . 

The amazing port , the narrow streets with the steps , the small taverns 

and souvenir stores , all those made her travel back in time , 

when simple things in life counted more ,

 like a walk with a friend , chatting in a cafeteria ,

being completely relaxed.



There are NO CARS on this island , no other way of transportation ,

except for the donkeys , face that emphasized this sweet back in time feeling . 



We had a long walk by the sea , by the port . 

Her eyes in the water , she was constantly mentioning how 

surprised she was to see such a clear sea .



She was enjoying the sun and the hot weather so much , 

together with the warmth in the heart of Greeks .



I thank you Helen for this day , we had ourselves a great memory .
