Dear John in Hydra - Spacious Two-Bedroom Apartment with Private Entrance

Amenities

The apartment offers free WiFi, air-conditioning, and soundproofing throughout. Guests have access to a fully equipped kitchen with a coffee machine, oven, and stovetop. A washing machine and work desk are also provided for longer stays.

Accommodation

The two-bedroom apartment includes a private entrance, ensuring privacy from the moment of arrival. One bedroom has an open internal window to the living room, which reduces privacy in that room. The property has low ceilings in the dining room and one bedroom, and half of the space lacks direct natural light.

Location

The apartment is a 5-minute walk from Hydra Port and 200 metres from George Kountouriotis Manor. Avlaki Beach is reachable in 8 minutes on foot, while Profitis Ilias Monastery is 2.7 km away. The property sits uphill, requiring 223 steps via one path and a 10-minute uphill walk from the port.

Guest Services

Dear John provides express check-in and check-out services, with an invoice supplied on request. A paid shuttle service is available, and luggage storage can be arranged. The host offers assistance with transporting luggage, strongly recommending donkey transport for bags.

Host & Experience

The host, Zoe, is repeatedly praised by guests for going beyond expectations, including providing Easter candles and eggs. She helped with directions, recommendations for dining and beaches, and stored a stroller at the port. Guests highlight the cleanliness, the espresso machine, and the quiet environment as positive aspects.
