The island’s naval story

About Historical Archives Museum of Hydra

Hydra’s fleet was one of the great forces of the Greek War of Independence, and the Historical Archives Museum on the harbour tells that story through documents, portraits, ship models and figureheads. A good first stop to understand why such a small, dry island built such grand houses.
