Hydra, Greece: Traffic-free Tranquility

Only a 90-minute hydrofoil ride from bustling Athens, Hydra is the prettiest of the Greek isles. The community is an easy blend of work-a-day commerce, fancy yachts and lazy tourists meandering through traffic-free streets, alongside the occasional donkey.

I just traveled to Greece recently and spent a day on hydra. So cool to see exact places i was! Also try not getting lost because i found myself on the other side of the island with just the wilderness around me. What an amazing experience!
