01 · In a sentence

Hydroussa Hotel in Idra 180 20, open JuneSeptember.

Hydroussa Hotel sits directly on Votsi Square with immediate access to Idra's waterfront—meaning your ceremony backdrop is authentic Aegean architecture rather than a constructed set.

The 25-room property handles all logistics in-house, eliminating coordination between separate venues.

Built into the island's existing infrastructure, the hotel functions as both ceremony/reception space and guest accommodation, reducing travel friction for your 50-150 person guest list.

Do not let the 3 stars stop you from booking at this hotel - it is absolutely amazing. The hotel location is perfect - not too far from the port and is good for people who cannot walk too long up and down the island. The rooms are spacious and historic - each room has its own vibe and the beds are very comfortable. Breakfast at the hotel is delicious and you are able to have it in the charming courtyard. The staff of the hotel, from the amazing receptionists Nefeli and Spiros, to the restaurant staff, Magda, have all been so welcoming and so helpful. We spent 6 days and would spend the whole summer if we could on this beautiful island and in this wonderful hotel. I would highly recommend this place for those who are visiting with elderly parents and with kids. Thank you for making our stay so memorable.
