A short flight of steps from the corner of the living room lead down to a wonderful chill out or workroom. It is equipped with a MAC & printer which are available for those who can't escape work! 


Summer Dining Courtyard


From the kitchen/living room, you can walk out to the pretty inner courtyard which is perfect for summer dining under the orange tree or chilling out in the dappled shade. There is a plant-filled side entrance from the street with Dokos stone underfoot, marble water basin and hose for a quick wash off salt & sand. The second ground floor double bedroom is across the courtyard from the kitchen/living room. A spiral staircase from the dining courtyard ascends to the back roof terrace.

You have a choice of Queen bed or two singles, which have plenty of drawer space built in. There is a large chest of drawers and ’secret’ cool space for hanging clothes. A writing table and chairs, shelf space and, not to mention, a funky chandelier. The bathroom en-suite also has a washing machine and clothes dryer. (There is also a clothesline in the side courtyard as you enter from the street door.)

Top Roof Terrace


As hinted by the opening photo, sun-worshippers and those who enjoy watching events in the harbour from the privacy of their own terrace will really appreciate the lofty position of the Top Roof Terrace. The 360-degree views are as spectacular as they are interesting. The top terrace is reached via stairs from the top floor landing. From this flower-studded terrace, there is a panoramic view around Hydra’s unique architecture, across red-tiled roofs to the sea and Hydra's port and across the dramatic sides of the amphitheatre that embraces Hydra Town. It is very hot in the day for sun-seekers and with table and chairs. At night it is perfect for evening refreshment watching the sun go down and the stars come out.
