Spilia Beach Bar - Hydra
A swimming platform on the rocks
In brief
Fifty metres west of Hydra harbour: concrete platforms on the rocks and iron ladders dropping straight into deep water. Not a beach — this is where the town swims. The bar above starts with morning coffee and drifts into cocktails by evening. Access to the platforms is free, with no obligation to order.

Good to know
- The water is deep immediately — not suitable for small children.
- Mornings are better for swimming, late afternoon for the light.
- Ten to fifteen minutes' walk from the harbour.
