About Ferries to Hydra
Hellenic Seaways fast boats run from Piraeus to Hydra year-round, taking roughly 1½–2 hours depending on the stops on the way, such as Poros; times are approximate and seasonal, so check the live timetable. Book ahead for summer weekends, when Athenians head over. From the Peloponnese, small boats cross from Metochi on the mainland opposite.
