Ydhra
belongs to the Argosaronic complex. It is one of the most atmospheric
destinations in Greece.
With 49km2 extension and 2.000 inhabitants approximately is the 4th
bigger island of the Argosaronic islands (it's located between the Argolic and
the Saronic gulf). Capital of the island is
the Ydhra Town. Its harbor and main town preserved
as a national monument. Entirely traffic-free with a bustling harbor and narrow
stones streets climbing steeply above it, it feels like a Greek island. Away
from the main settlement the rest of the island is roadless, rugged and barely
inhabited. It is extremely picturesque and cosmopolitan island with
sophisticated atmosphere and noticeably high prices. The island has a very
limited number of beaches and the interior is mountainous and little-visited.
This island
is a popular destination for foreign tourists and Athenians, given the
relatively short distance from the capital. It has significant shipping history
and tradition.
