- Duración: 4 h
- Temporada: June – October
- Para quién: Good swimmers at Spilia; families at the coves

Swim · half a day · Ladders into the sea below the harbour cannons and taxi boats to Vlychos, Bisti or Agios Nikolaos, the beaches you cannot reach on foot

Hydra has almost no sand. What there is beside the town is rock: at Spilia, at the western exit of the harbour, below the cannons, you go down into the water by ladders from concrete platforms, in deep, very clear water. It is for those who swim well.
For beaches, take a water taxi on the quay: boats that leave when full or on demand for Kamini, Vlychos and, further away, the coves of Bisti and Agios Nikolaos, with pines and sunbeds in season. The price is paid per boat and trip: ask at the kiosk on the quay.

## Consejos

### Share a boat
The price is per boat, not per person.

### Water shoes
The rocks and pebbles hurt.
