Hydra Island
The island you see from the beach. Car-free, with stone mansions, donkeys and a horseshoe harbour. Boats leave from the resort port and from Ermioni — ask Reception for the day's timetable.
Beyond the resort
Excursions and boat tickets are arranged at Reception.
Ermioni town
A short drive away: two harbours, the pine-covered Bisti peninsula for a walk at sunset, tavernas and a Saturday feel all week.
Spetses
Elegant neighbour island, reachable by boat from Kosta/Porto Heli. Horse carriages, Dapia harbour and great swimming.
Epidaurus & Nafplio
Roughly 1.5 hours by car: the ancient theatre with its legendary acoustics, then Greece's first capital for a long lunch.
Mycenae
The Lion Gate and the citadel of Agamemnon, about 2 hours away — best in the morning before the heat.
