The town of Ydra is situated in the eponymous island in the Aegean Sea. It was founded in the 15th century in a picturesque bay with a steep rocky coastline. It was in this bay that the ships of the fleet of Ydra, which traversed the seas, cast their anchors. It is to its fleet that Ydra owes its prosperity in the 18th century. The houses of Ydra are built defensively close to each other on the rocky coast. Walking along its picturesque alleys you will feel the charm of the Aegean islands.
