The Area
Margarita is situated on the secluded pebbly beach of Molos on the north coast of Hydra, about 5.5km west of the island's capital, Hydra Port.
Hydra is the most southerly of the Saronic Islands after Spetses, and is located off the eastern tip of the Peloponnese. Measuring just 20km (west to east) by 5km (north to south), it is easy to discover in a week, as long as you rent a boat or travel by sea taxi - cars are not allowed on Hydra and there are very few roads. Fortunately, Margarita has its own private jetty.
Apart from Molos beach right outside the villa, there are several other idyllic bays to enjoy, including Bisti, Mpisti and Agios Nikolaos to the west, Plakes (on the way towards Hydra Port) and Mandraki in the northeast, and Limnioniza on the southeast coast.
The island's mountainous hinterland is scattered with monasteries and crisscrossed by ancient mule tracks, making hiking an interesting proposition in the spring and autumn. Peaks rise up to over 500m before plummeting precipitously into the sea, especially on the south coast, and creating a spectacular coastline.
The island's capital, Hydra Port, is a pretty, unspoilt town and well worth spending some time in. Its harbourfront tavernas and bars rub shoulders with grand mansions built by 19th-century shipping magnates, and there are plenty of independent little shops and a few museums and galleries to explore.

Boat Rental in Hydra
A holiday in the sun would not be complete without exploring the breath-taking coastline, majestic cliffs and glistening azure sea that your destination has to offer. The best way to experience this spectacle is from your very own rental boat, pottering along at a leisurely pace and occasionally stopping off to drop anchor and swim in secluded bays.
