Hotel & Heritage

Hotel Sophia is the first hotel on Hydra, established in 1934 and operated by the same family for four generations. Housed in a restored 19th-century building, the hotel sits just 15 meters from the sea and directly on Hydra Port. Guests arriving by ferry reach the hotel entrance within a 5-minute walk on flat ground, with no uphill climbing required.

Selected rooms feature private balconies overlooking the harbor, while all guests can use the shared sea-view balcony. Rooms are equipped with air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, minibars, and tea/coffee makers.

Dining

A rich breakfast is served each morning, including traditional pies, homemade jams, and freshly squeezed juices. Guests can enjoy breakfast either at a communal dining table fostering conversation with other travelers or in the privacy of their own room. The hotel also offers breakfast in the room service for an early start.
