• The entire island of Hydra has been declared preservable and the vehicular traffic of cars and motorbikes has been prohibited in the port area. However the distance between one region from the other one is usually short.
• Because of the absence of cars from the island, the transportation to the beaches can be made by sea taxis or smaller boats such as caiques that have frequent itineraries. The majority of the beaches in Hydra are in short distance from the centre, so you can approach them on foot.
• If you have your own boat you can anchor in the harbour of Hydra or in the neighbouring small port, called Mandraki.

• Flying dolphins and catamarans have daily, frequent itineraries that depart from Piraeus Port in Athens, in front of the church of Agios Spiridonas going to Hydra. The trip to Hydra lasts one hour approximately (1,10') with this type of boats and 3 - 3,5 hours with conventional ferries.
