This video literally shaping up my entire trip to Greece. Hydra will be a main destination just because of you, thanks Daniel !

[@daniellugo5636]

Thank you so much for your comment 🙏🏻🙂

[@MariaHatzivasileiou]

Thanks for displaying the beauties of our island in such a wonderful video!!!! You are very welcome to get back anytime you want and explore all the landscapes that you did not see during your first visit. Cheers!!!

[@daniellugo5636]

Thanks! I hope that someday I will have a tradition coming to Hydra every year!

[@brettgroh1112]

Beautifully done, Daniel. We visited Hydra two years ago and we're already planning a return (longer stay) trip for next June. We absolutely love this place!! It is one of those rare, enchanting places that still exist on this planet.

[@darkpixel_1]

Perhaps the best Hydra travel video out there !! Well done capturing all these great shots !

[@daniellugo5636]

Thanks I did my best 🙏🏻

[@fakrbob4099]

Amazing video. I’m a huge fan of Mediterranean history and especially Greek history

[@fakhramaan1312]

Wow This was incredible. And you were so right I haven't heard of Hydra. This is now on my list to visit.

[@ricardosf777]

WOW..... This gave me goosebumps!!! Stunning!!! Thank you for this beautiful video!

Just magnificent.

BONDARENKO thanks 😊

First project and very good.

I visited Hydra while traveling in Greece during college in the summer of 1977. We caught a ride on an old fishing ferry from Piraeus. There were no yachts in any of the harbors back then, just old fishing boats. No cars, lots of cats, and hardly any tourists other than us. Glad I saw things before they got gentrified and overrun with tourists. And all those super-yachts.

[@jamesuno6254]

Excellent description of this beautiful island! I have been there few times and I hope to return someday.

Ydra is a small gem ! Thanks for covering - great presentation Like & Subscribed 👍 💙💙💙

What a great video! This was the first I've heard of Hydra but I'm so excited to head there one day. Glad you enjoyed your visit.

[@thomasjanssens8226]

Daniel Lugo you did an amazing job capturing this island it is amazing the effort and pasion you brought into this project. Many kudos and many enjoyment with your next projects!

[@daniellugo5636]

Thank you, I really appreciate your feedback! Check out my next projects as well! I have just released a big video about Barcelona 🙏🏻

[@davisurdaneta1426]

Thank you for this awesome and very detailed vlog. I am visiting Greece in 10 days and Hydra is one of the places on my list. The moment I came across with this beautiful island while planning my trip I fell in love right away especially the no car concept and how walkable the lovely harbour town is. By the way, I am curious about your cute accent, I could recognize some part Australian and a hint of eastern European. ;-) Cheers mate!

[@lauracolonello]

Amazing! Bravo👏

[@uponthewing1501]

Hey Daniel...thank you for making this video, it’s truly amazing. Perfect pace, great narration and top class editing! I’ll look out for you on Hydra upon your return🙂

[@daniellugo5636]

Thanks so much for your feedback 🙂 check my other videos too, the new one about Istanbul is coming soon! And see you on Hydra ☺️🙏🏻

[@tanyahernandez5258]

Good job on the video. I particularly liked that you covered everything from how to get to the island and how much it was to where to stay. Also, the information about how to get to beaches and the variety of restaurants was really helpful.

[@williamt.pinkney9228]

Love the commentary and the lovely scenes of the island. I can't wait to go there myself!

[@Rutteli58]

This video was absolutely fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing, Daniel. Great job!! I'm visiting Hydra in the beginning of May.

Thank you for actually using non-irritating music!! Thank god. Also great eye, really beautiful footage :) can’t wait to go

Fantastic video and commentary!

Looks pretty professional 👌

[@georgef3936]

So good Daniel especially for your first project. It could be the best coverage we’ve seen of Hydra. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. It brought back special memories. We spent about a week there and found it incredibly good. Laid back and friendly. We went in the off season in November. We felt we almost had it to ourselves. We didn’t go for the beaches so much. We have so many of them in Australia anyway, among the best in the world. We went for the history and the friendly Greek island feel. Greek people are so wonderful.

[@T2Nsound]

I will be in Hydra with my partner in July. Will follow your recommendations. Thanks for the great video. (Have subscribed!).

Well done and studied, more videos about Greece please

[@titent7727]

I love Greece and I was a frequent visitor who always stayed at hotels in Greece, at least 60 days each year. But I will not visit Greece until the documents about Covid, and all the questions about vaccines and also all restrictions will be removed. See you in 1 year! Or 10 years? It's up to you, dear Greeks! The very best of the bests!!

Interesting, nicely edited & narrated. If I ever visit greece again this will be on my list. Thank you.

Thank you, Nevin 🙏🏻 . I was there in the late Sep - beginning of Aug.

Thanks so much Daniel. Late September sounds (and looks) ideal - next year, when the world reopens!

60-100 euros. Depends on the place.

[@elfriededohmen1029]

Which travel agency do I use to visit this beautiful island⁉️I would fly from Germany/ Düsseldorf airport. How late in the year can one fly to Hydra and enjoy a warmth holiday. Thank you🙏

[@daniellugo5636]

I believe you don’t need any travel agency for this. You can book an apartments with the air bnb or booking.com, simply buy tickets to the Athens airport and there you go. These and other details are described in the video. I think September, or early October would still be pretty warm, but I’m not sure about swimming.

[@CaptainNavman]

HELLENIC Island, and we HAVE heard of it, vre

[@vaughanlutkin4034]

130 euros per day, crazy price

[@zarquondam]

"Never heard of it"? It's incredibly famous.

[@zarquondam]

Also the correct pronunciation in modern Greek is eethra, not eedra.

[@Eleena44]

How i wish the whole world was like this, no cars 😍 I always wish cars and vehicles never existed so no one says heeey cars are awesome for transportation and freedom p…although they cause more deaths than government wars.

[@Munawirtum]

Wonderful adventure!

[@nicopapaya1791]

Thks for your video it's very well done although i don t agree with the title at all. There are far more authentic islands, hydra is just next to the mainland and 2 hrs from athens , most of the inhabitants are just athenians living on an island. Places like syfnos, amorgos and astypalea are a thousand times more authentique than hydra and there are tons of others too.

[@daniellugo5636]

Thanks for the info 🙂 will check those you mentioned too!

[@florrie8767]

Yes lots of small islands live more traditionally id add skopelos and tilos

[@jeffmorrison2915]

Our experience in Greece: Long story short: Spend 3 days in mainland & museums max. Spend the rest on the islands. For foodie people: Overall food culture in Greece is surprisingly mediocre if non-existent. Options are extremely limited (yes! you heard it right! we were shocked too, after reviewing over 100 restaurants from fine-dining to quick bites in mainland and islands) Anyone who has been to the neighboring Turkey/Istanbul/Antalya/Anatolia (literally food porn!) knows what we mean. (We actually took a food break, flew to Antalya/Turkey on a weekend to feast and came back!) While in Greece, basically eat souvlaki/gyro on stale pitas and soggy fries with Greek salad till you drop. (same food shown in this video!) Reheated bland mousakkas. (Soups/legumes/tea/oven-to-table bread/types of olives, beers, spices etc. habits are next to none) attendants are rude, people hardly smile. In Greeks mindset, good food translates fancy rip-off! Greece is so not a foodie country by a world class standard. Athens has a just a few 5 star hotels: Grande Bretagne: Go for breakfast on a deck looking at Acropolis. Coffees are mediocre (Jacobs!), koulouris are stale, very limited options. Other 5 star hotel is Hilton, bland, ugly with no character. Balcony view is ugly looking at dusty apartments. Fashionable well-maintained yet frowning ladies all over the city, Piraeus port is like a war zone wreckage scene from Syria, Athens is an ugly graffiti capital and nobody seems to care. ISLANDS: That's where the charm starts!. Real gems, turquoise sea with super romantic ambiance, but again food is bland and next to garbage with a few exceptions (ex. Techne in Hydra, but again limited options). WINE: go white. Reds are not a big deal. TAVERNAS: same bland menu served everywhere (seriously, go to any Meyhane (Turkish tavernas) of your choice in neighboring Turkey instead) live music is great but Bouzouki over and over. Not much variety (like food). No sugar-free ouzos (In Turkey calories counters can find sugar-free raki). Greek islands ara absolutely amazing, especially if you have your personal chef with you. Cheers

[@martinwfarrell]

OK i get you prefer Turkey to Greece. Germany is a great country but its not a foodie country (saurkraut and sausages etc) compared to France. So I can accept Turkey is more sophisticated but I much prefer Greece for many reasons.

Hahaha there’s a much easier way to get to Hydra…from Ermioni on the PELOPPONESE…only a few minutes by ferry

[@bustermot]

So ironic to bring up authenticity in such a public forum. Why meddle and possibly make the place less authentic?

[@paulamaloney1898]

Modern Greece not ancient as you think son wrong thousands of years ago destroyed my country replaced by modern Greece by 18 century to exact far more developed to be ancient not by long shot look at it properly if that old wear should show age but buildings tell stories about there past by there look anyone can change facts by saying Greece is ancient but proper work can show other wise from Marcus in australia no like needed or like.

Glad you had good time it will not remain son Greek island's are set for being wrecked enjoy while you can.
