Methana to Hydra Route Map
Magic Sea Ferries link Methana with Hydra using the Magic 2 and Magic 3, small fast catamarans that cover the distance in thirty-five minutes to an hour depending on the calls in between. The route runs down the sheltered water between the Peloponnese coast and the Saronic islands, so it is rarely rough. These are compact boats with limited deck space and no vehicles.
Hydra bans motor traffic altogether, so you step off onto a quay worked by donkeys, mules and water taxis. The horseshoe harbour is lined with cannons and stone mansions climbing the slope behind, and it is effectively the island's only settlement of consequence. Galleries, old captains' houses and a long history as an artists' retreat give it a character quite unlike its neighbours.
Sailings run roughly daily in season, thinning out considerably outside it. The current timetable and fares are below, with prices starting in the mid twenties in euro. If nothing fits, Poros is the usual alternative hop, with very frequent onward services to Hydra.

Tips for the Methana to Hydra ferry
- Washing clothes at island laundries (found on almost every inhabited island) means you can travel with less; a 3–4 day supply of clothing is usually enough.
- Inter-island speedboats and caiques supplement the official ferry schedule on many routes; they are faster but not subject to the same safety standards.
- Group discounts are available on some operators for parties of six or more – contact the operator directly if you cannot see a group rate online.
- A portable power bank is one of the most useful things to carry – reliable mains power is not guaranteed on any vessel.
- Once you arrive in Hydra, you'll find a car-free island with a picturesque stone-built harbour that has changed little in centuries. The island is best explored on foot or by donkey, with its neoclassical mansions, monasteries, and rocky swimming spots providing plenty to discover.
