A Bit Of Fun - Some Quick VIDEOS of Hydra
Making a wreath for 1st May
mai flower1st May – My children desperately wanting to ‘catch’ May woke up early today begging me to come with them to collect flowers and make a wreath for our front door.
Not having had much time over the years to actually go and collect flowers myself, I thought today was a great opportunity. My daughter told me that the first flower that has to be picked is what I would call a purple thistle! In Greece they call it the ‘mai’ flower. It really is prickly and you have to be especially careful when picking it.

Hooked on Hydra
Hooked on Hydra!
As a teenager I first came to Hydra in 1987, a very different place to how the island has progressed…we spent nights in Disco Heaven and Pirate Bar, mixing with the locals and making merry!
Despite all the changes over the years, Hydra maintains a charm and warmth off the tourist trail. You’ll find a slower pace of life and nothing happens very fast, which is wonderful for downtime. If you are looking for a step back in time and an appetite to experience the ‘real’ Greece then Hydra has lots to offer.
