FURTHER INFORMATION

This estate was donated by Aristotelis Onassis to a relative of Holland's Royal family and in 2006 it was sold to the present owner.

The estate is the largest of the island's town plan, offering breath-taking views over the sea and the village. Recently a two level villa of 225 sq m has been built. The Ground level is divided into a living room, dining room, kitchen and master bedroom, whereas the 1st floor offers 2 master bedrooms and one guest room. The area is full of olive trees and pines.

LOCATION

Just 37 nautical miles from Athens in the Argo-Saronic Gulf, the long, narrow island of Hydra (or Ydra) is both cosmopolitan and tranquil. Donkeys and boats are the only form of transport as laws prohibit automobiles (except for a few small garbage trucks), mopeds, and even bicycles. Due to the island’s status as a national historic monument, strict building laws also regulate development, protecting Hydra’s traditional architectural style and enhancing its old-world charm. Access from Athens is 1 ½ hours by hydrofoil or 2 ½ hours by car to Metohi and then a small boat ride (Water Bus Service). The property is suitably located only 120 m from the small port of Kamini.
