Hydra Icons in Idra 180 40, open June–September.
Guests arrive by ferry to the car-free island of Hydra, then ascend stone pathways to Hydra Icons, a 4-star hotel where whitewashed rooms overlook the Aegean Sea.
Here, wedding celebrations unfold across terraced gardens and waterfront spaces where the sound of lapping waves replaces traffic.
Your guests will remember the journey itself—the ferry crossing, the village charm, the genuine disconnection from everyday life.
We had a wonderful stay in Hydra Icons! The owners were super welcoming and they had the most adorable cats. The view from the rooftop is unique and totally worth it. The room was tidy and clean according to the pictures. We will return, for sure.
