The Area
Mirkella is situated on the north coast of Hydra, about 5km west of the island's capital, Hydra Port. Down below, accessed via a private path from the villa, is the lovely, secluded pebbly beach of Molos.
Hydra is the most southerly of the Saronic Islands after Spetses, and is located off the eastern tip of the Peloponnese. Measuring just 20km (west to east) by 5km (north to south), it is easy to discover in a week, as long as you rent a boat or travel by sea taxi - cars are not allowed on Hydra and there are very few roads.
Apart from Molos beach below the villa, there are several other idyllic bays to enjoy, including Bisti and Agios Nikolaos to the west, Plakes (on the way towards Hydra Port), Mandraki in the northeast, and Limnioniza on the southeast coast.
The island's mountainous hinterland is scattered with monasteries and crisscrossed by ancient mule tracks, making hiking an interesting proposition in the spring and autumn. Peaks rise up to over 500m before plummeting precipitously into the sea, especially on the south coast, and creating a spectacular coastline.
The island's capital, Hydra Port, is a pretty, unspoilt town and well worth spending some time in. Its harbourfront tavernas and bars rub shoulders with grand mansions built by 19th-century shipping magnates, and there are plenty of independent little shops and a few museums and galleries to explore.

Read the insightful reviews from travellers who have experienced this villa and our service firsthand.
Mirkella is amazing. The views with awe inspiring sunsets along with many beautiful walks meant we could be lazy or active, a daily choice. The food was absolutely delicious, way beyond our expectations. Our hosts, Costadinos and Gina were delightful, making us all feel at home instantly. We all loved our stay at Mirkella and thank all involved with making this family holiday such a special one.

Amazing Food, Amazing Views, What a destination!

Mirkella is perfect for a more remote experience, stunning views and very well looked after property. We loved the history, the food, the landscape and the clear waters of Hydra. A perfect stay.
Verified guest, August 2022
Mirkella was as expected and spotless. The cook was an absolute standout. The food, menu service, presentation was exceptional. So much so we invited the team to join us for dinner one evening which we all enjoyed.
