Hydra to Metochi is the shortest crossing in the Saronic, ten to twenty minutes on the small Hydra Lines boats Freedom II and Freedom III. It is a straight run across the channel to the Argolid shore, more shuttle than ferry, and the boats are small and quick. Foot passengers only, and journey times vary mostly with sea state rather than routing.

Metochi is a functional landing rather than a place to spend time, a small mainland hamlet in the Ermionida area used almost solely as the hop-off point for Hydra. There is car parking and little else, and most people are either collecting a vehicle or being met. Ermioni and Kranidi are a short drive inland if you need shops or somewhere to stay.

The shuttle runs many times a day, so you rarely wait long, though the service thins outside the summer. Current departures and fares are shown below. This is much the fastest way to reach Hydra if you are driving down from Athens, since it avoids the long sea route from Piraeus entirely.

Tips for the Hydra to Metochi ferry

  • If you are departing from a remote island port rather than the main town, confirm the location in advance – some islands have more than one port.
  • The Cyclades are more exposed to the meltemi than the Dodecanese, which are sheltered by the Turkish coast – a relevant factor when comparing summer sea conditions.
  • Weather apps on your phone are useful as a rough guide but marine-specific forecasts (Poseidon, Windy, Windguru) are more accurate for sea conditions.
  • A small padlock is useful not only for your luggage but also for hostel lockers if you are staying in mixed accommodation.
  • Ticket booths at small island ports for short-hop ferries are often only open 30–45 minutes before departure; do not arrive expecting them to be open all day.
