After touring Greece , we boarded ship and started our tour of the Greek islands. Our first stop was the Island of Hydra and we were astonished at the spectacle of snow-white houses rising in succession above one another from the water's edge towards the crest of the rock. Hydra is a rocky island with a treeless ridge about two to four miles wide. - only a few acres of arable land. Hydra still reserves the appearance of a tiny old-world port untouched by time. There are no cars on the island and the only form of transport is the age-old friend of man, the donkey.

I'd like to go to a place with no auto transport...sounds relaxing and fun maybe a little frustrating at times but fun!
