Another favourite among travellers is a stopover in Hydra. Take a local “taxi” (donkey ride) to see the sights of this charming island where there are no cars allowed. It's not hard to see why Hydra has inspired painters and writers the world over.

Great way to see the islands, an excellent time to travel to avoid most of the crowds (except on Mykonos)

This was a purely adventurous trip! The wind predicted the type of sailing day we were going to have. Thankfully luck was on our side and we were able to hit many beautiful islands. But I can see how it may not always be the case.
