Anchorage· Hydra· Greece — Ionian, Saronic & Argolic
Agios Georgios Bay (Hydra)
37° 18.2′ N · 23° 22.5′ E
The greenest anchorage on Hydra, where pine forest runs right down to the shore beside the white chapel of Agios Georgios — popular with motor yachts and charter boats.
Practical
Sailingissues anchorage marker. Solid holding in sand; sheltered by Petasi islet and only affected by SW winds. Plenty of options to take a line ashore south of the church. Sunbathers arrive only by tripper boat and stay inside the buoyed swimming area north of the headland — keep clear of it. Unorganised beach between two pine-clad hills.
