This village is quite isolated in relation to the rest of the “Mastichochoria”. It is considered the best preserved medieval village and its fortification is reminiscent of Olympi and Pyrgi. It was included in the map in 1422. Later on, the Genoese intervened drastically in the structure of the village but the dark cobblestone streets, known as vaults, remained unchanged. As a visitor you can wander through the village and enjoy the history the place has to offer. In the past, the enemies were delayed by the labyrinthine streets and the winding paths.

This is one of the most beautiful beaches of the island, with turquoise waters and a pine-covered slope that almost reaches the sea. You can seek shade under the pine trees or rent a sunbed and an umbrella. It is located in the northwestern gulf of Hydra and can be accessed only by sea or by the boats that make daily trips to the popular beaches or by a private yacht.

Mandraki is located east of the port and it is one of the few sandy beaches of Hydra. Its bay is protected by the wind and this is why private yachts often anchor there.
