Hydra's Community Clubs

This how the community of Hydra Island relaxes when they aren't working. In the main, the clubs and activities are for the local community. Occasionally, their activities are showcased as demonstrations and end of term shows & exhibitions as part of the various festivals on Hydra which visitors are always welcome to be part of the audience.

I've included this section on HydraDirect for those visitors who are considering a life-style change and are thinking of moving to Hydra as full-time residents. My intention being to give a broader idea of what life is like here. Regards Kelsey
