The ironman of travel Yoshimasa Ikeuchi

I remembered Kotetsu exploring the Island alone
without disembarking because it was hot.

Transport by donkey to the hotel

Hydra harbor

3 Islands full day cruise

・Piraeus Harbor

1980 40 years old, Me

Athens Piraeus Harbor

No cars or motorcycles allowed on the Island (Garbage cleaning vehicle only)
Transportation is on foot, donkey or boat taxi.
　
I couldn't carry the trunk as I expected on the cobblestone bumpy road to the inn for just a few minutes,
so I had no choice but to carry it by donkey.

15 euros (2000 yen) is expensive for 2 trunks and 2 donkeys.

In the 18th and 19th centuries,
a mansion that made a huge fortune in maritime trade towers on a hill.

When colorful houses turn alleys,
leaving a strong impression of the Middle Ages.

A fashionable Island that jumps in the majestic Italian style building.
It is a lost item of the 18th century.

The land on the Island is thin and not suitable for agriculture.

The building is built on bedrock and the Island is full of rocks.

The most popular of the three Islands,
Hydra, is hardly remembered by either of them.

Cute houses that spread out in a circular shape as you approach
the harbor are erected to welcome us.

The graceful scenery of the harbor,
which is in contrast to the desolate mountain surface, is like a Greek painting, and I am excited by the expectations.

The port of Piraeus, the gateway to the Greek sea,
is crowded with international cruise ships and high-speed ferry boats.

One-day cruises on Aegina,
Poros and Hydra in the Saronikos Islands are very popular with Japanese people. BR>
The stay on each Island takes 1 to 2 hours,
and it comes quickly and pulls up to cut the wind.

I happened to experience the cruise trip a long time ago.

Hydra's shipbuilding spread throughout the Mediterranean,
expanding into shipping and trade as well as freight.

At that time,
the Mediterranean had various risks such as pirates,
storms, and wars, but it was already a management skill
that had joint ownership of ships and organized a capital union.

The 1821 War of Independence was greatly contributed by people from Hydra.
The rest remains in the History Museum.
