Hotel Miranda in Idra 180 40.
Built in 1925 as a captain's mansion during Hydra's prosperous shipping era, Hotel Miranda was meticulously restored to preserve its Neoclassical architecture while introducing modern hospitality amenities.
Perched on the Aegean coastline of this car-free island, the hotel retains original stonework, arched doorways, and period details that create an authentic Greek island backdrop.
With 16 individually appointed rooms and waterfront terraces, the property accommodates intimate gatherings with Mediterranean authenticity.
Lovely hotel with cute rooms and a nice garden/breakfast area. The staff was very kind and helpful at all times of the day. The only downside is that the breakfast was a bit underwhelming as some items were good (yogurt and fruits, ham and cheese omelette) and some were not great (orange juice, scrambled eggs).
