Greece 2015: Hydra Island

I spent several days on the island of Hydra doing some hiking, enjoying the beach, eating amazing food, and simply spending hours watching the sunsets and storms forming in the distance over the ocean.

These fellas were there to greet you as you stepped off the boat. There are no motorized vehicles allowed on the island (with a very few exceptions) and the donkeys carry everything from luggage to construction materials.

Evening comes to the village of Kaminia along the coast.
