Our Hydra Project

Hydriots supplied the Turks with food products and had the monopoly in the Mediterranean sea.

Because agriculture was impossible, people started building ships.

Admiral Andreas Miaoulis became the first Prime Minister of the New Greek State.

The Hydriot ships made up the whole Greek fleet.

Hydriots were the first to start the Greek War of Independence.

You can find figureheads and paintings of the ships of the Greek Revolution in the Museum of Hydra.

The island could offer a lot, and that's why the Turks settled in the island.

Nothing else is left to see of Admiral Andreas Miaoulis today.

The Hydriots became important merchants by the 19th century.

Hydra has always been a dry island.
