Bisti Beach

This is one of the most beautiful beaches of the island, with turquoise waters and a pine-covered slope that almost reaches the sea. You can seek shade under the pine trees or rent a sunbed and an umbrella. It is located in the northwestern gulf of Hydra and can be accessed only by sea or by the boats that make daily trips to the popular beaches or by a private yacht.

Mandraki Beach

Mandraki is located east of the port and it is one of the few sandy beaches of Hydra. Its bay is protected by the wind and this is why private yachts often anchor there.

Kasteli

The hill on which the ancient city was located extends to an altitude of 327 metres. Ruins of the town, the city-state of Anafi, can be seen there. The city was probably established in the 8th century BC by Dorian colonists and was the dominant city of the island until the end of antiquity.

The Monastery of Zoodochos Pigi

The Monastery of Zoodochos Pigi or Panagia Kalamiotissa is located over the narrow isthmus separating the main island from the peninsula of Kalamos. It is built over the eminent ancient temple of Apollo Aeglitis, which was connected to the town by the cobblestone Iera Odos (parts of which can still be seen today). Quite high sections of the walls of the temple itself, and its peribolos have been preserved and incorporated into the peribolos of the modern-day Monastery.

Kalamos

This huge rock is accessible by land and inaccessible by sea. It is a natural monument for the island and home to rare species of flora. It is also well known for its impressive geo-morphological elements. The rock was used - at least occasionally - in the Middle Ages as a place of refuge from the invaders.
