Communications with the host was excellent, the ferry ride over was on schedule, smooth and clean, upon arrival the host met us at the wharf and brought us to the property, about a 8 min walk along the main port and up a gradual incline.we rented the two bedroom apartment with a beautiful courtyard yard and were completely pleased with the property, it offered a complete kitchen, living space and the host had bottled water in the fridge and fresh bread delivered each morning. I cant say enough about Hydra and is people, it offered a little of everything and delivered it with grace and beauty. I can see where Lenard Cohen got some of his insperation, I would highly recommend the location and accommodations.

Fantastic location, quiet but easy walk to the port ( almost no steps) and a lot of restaurants within 2-5 mins walking distance. The host John came to pick us up at the port when we arrived and gave us good recommendations for restaurants. Nice big clean room with comfortable bed. We will definitely come back to stay here again.

We had a lovely stay at Chromata Hydra – it’s a really cute place, tucked slightly away from the port. The location is ideal: peaceful and quiet, yet still close enough to easily walk everywhere on the island. We had originally booked a room for three people via Hotels.com, but it turned out to be quite small. However, Yannis and his mother went out of their way to sort this for us, arranging an extra bed and making sure we were comfortable. They were genuinely attentive and clearly cared about giving us a great experience. The place itself was very clean and thoughtfully arranged. We especially appreciated the fridge stocked with breakfast items, and the fresh bread hung on our door each morning – such a charming touch. Overall, we’d absolutely recommend staying here. A wonderful, welcoming spot on Hydra.

The place was really comfortable, clean and well located. Few minutes from the port, where the action is, but far enough for some peace and quiet. You also have few markets near the apartment. The owners made us feel welcomed and made sure we had everything we needed. They would bring fresh bread from a local bakery every morning. A grreat place to stay when visiting this island.

Incredibly beautiful

Our stay here was amazing. The room was clean and well stocked with supplies, the balcony and view was absolutely breathtaking, and the host, Yiannis, greeted us at the dock and brought us to our room and was available at all times. We wished we had stayed in Hydra longer so we could enjoy this beautiful apartment for another few days!

Wonderful stay! Will return soon!

The place is beautiful, very central, modern and as it looks on photos! Bed was very comfortable and room spacious. Host was wonderful, polite and friendly, met us at port, and while breakfast was not included, we found everything we needed in the room free of charge as a treat! Lovely place indeed and best we have stayed in Hydra so far after 3 visits. We shall return surely!

We were very pleased with the studio. It was spotless, well lit, nicely decorated and in a calm part of the town yet 2-3 minutes from the port, restaurants and shops. Yiannis kindly met us at the port, helped us with our luggage and was always available via WhatsApp to answer our questions, make reservations, etc. Highly recommended place with a beautiful terrace to have breakfast or a glass of wine in the afternoon :-)

This is a lovely place to relax and enjoy! We stayed here four nights and I definitely would stay here again. Fresh bread is delivered every morning along with yogurt, cheese, lunch meat, juice and milk... definitely a plus to our stay. There are a few grocery stores nearby that sell fruit veggies, beer and wine. Only downside was internet went down for the last two days, but strong 5G outside of apartment. Hopefully the WiFi will get back and running soon. This was a great find and a sort walk from the ferry!
