Hydra, Greece Essential Travel Guide

Monday December 15, 2003
I awoke this fine morning to find a thick, white frost coating our village on the normally temperate left coast of the US. So, what better time to think of travel to warmer climes? Greece comes to mind, and the Saronic Gulf island of Hydra makes a fine start.
