Description

At the turn of the 19th century, when Athens had about 6,500 inhabitants, the population of Hydra, then an important centre of maritime trade, may have exceeded 30,000. Its sudden 17th- and 18th-century prosperity produced an extraordinary architectural flowering, endowing it with one of the most strikingly beautiful ports in the Aegean.

Chapter from Blue Guide Greece the Aegean Islands: what to see, where to stay and eat, history, archaeology, art, culture, leisure. With superb, award-winning maps. Written and edited by a team of three experts: historian, art historian and archaeologist, two of whom lead cultural tours in Greece. "Blue Guides still hold the cultural high ground" Sunday Times.
