A bohemian atmosphere permeates Hydra, for this rugged island is a fashionable resort that has attracted a large colony of artists and writers. In the 19th century Hydra was the headquarters of a group of wealthy sea captains who played an important role in the Greek War. They built impressive mansions that, together with several monasteries and the absence of wheeled traffic, give the island its unique and quaint atmosphere.
