The island has a busy marina, where several cruise ships drop anchor everyday, so that passengers can spend a couple of hours exploring the island. Fortunately, most of these holidaymakers leave within a few hours, and this has left the natural beauty of the island intact. The best way of exploring the island is on foot. The island consists of three main streets, which lead from the waterfront into the heart of the island. When you stay in Island Hydra holiday apartments, you will get an opportunity to visit the Monastery of the Panagia. This monastery is located at the harbour. While it no longer functions as a monastery, you can still check out the small museum, and its marbled columns and church. The best time to stay in Island Hydra holiday rentals is during the Easter weekend. The celebrations begin on the last Thursday of Lent. The following day, on Friday, different church congregations walk through the town and converge at the monastery. On Saturday, at midnight, the night sky lights up with an explosion of fireworks, and afterwards people hold lit candles and head back home or stop at the numerous island restaurants to eat in soup, red Easter eggs and lamb while drinking wine or Margaritas.
