With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up everything that idhra, 55 miles away, has to offer. Hydra Town Harbour, Mandraki Beach and Manor of George Kountouriotis alone make the drive out worthwhile. Located 60 miles away, Athens is another popular tourist destination. If you drop by, be sure to check out Acropolis, Syntagma Square and Alimos Marina.
