Some beaches on Hydra island

spilia beach

We continue with the beautiful island of Hidra. This island has an interesting variety of beaches and places that are good for swimming. Many are close to town and others are further away and are almost private, in case you just want some privacy with your friends or your partner. There are even some places that you can only get to by boat. Those are my favorites! But sometimes you don't have time to hike too much, so if you plan to stay more or less close to the port, here are some nearby beaches:

  • spilia: it is a rocky area that is very good for swimming and is located very close to the port. There are some concrete platforms and the waters are deep, clear and dark blue. Also, this place is close to restaurants, cafes and bars and many of them have tables and chairs outside to enjoy the view of the sun setting over the sea.

Kamini beach

  • Avlaki Bay: you pass the canyons that are stationed in Spilia, on the coastal route, and you arrive at this other swimming area. It is a sheltered cove, with a small pebble beach and a concrete platform at the bottom that is reached by a steep staircase. Here the water is also clear, blue and deep, but calm. There are usually not as many people as in Spilia but going up and down is a bit difficult.
  • Kamini Beach: This beach is a little further, 1 km from the port. It is a pebble beach located in front of the old armory that today is a restaurant and bar. It is a public beach but you can rent sunbeds and umbrellas at this place. The water is clean and the place is chosen by families because the waves are very soft.
