Waterfront holiday rentals in Idra

Charming apartment making up the ground floor of Petros's place. The garden is stunning, with views across the town to the sea. Olive and citrus trees give dappled shade and there is an awning for when more shade is needed. Petros lives upstairs so is on hand and is extremely helpful. He not only picked us up at the port and gave us a lift back but also offered to take us to the supermarket and even to the Temple of Aphaia when he was going. The apartment is a 5-10 minute walk uphill from Marathonas A beach. A few minutes more brings you to the stretch of restaurants between the two beaches and a few minutes more the lovely Marathonas B beach. The walk has beautiful views across the bay to Moni and Perdika with the Peloponnese in the background. There is a well stocked supermarket near the A beach. There are buses to Aegina town and Perdika but only 2-3 per day. We walked to Aegina in about an hour and got a cab back for 8 euros. A fabulous, peaceful stay with a very helpful host.

The weekend spent at Katerina’s place was perfect in every way. Hydra is wonderful and we felt like we found the best Airbnb on the island. The swimming area off of Katerina’s dock is beautiful and is flanked on either side by two other rock swimming spots. Katerina was very accommodating with check in times and surprised us with goggles and a snorkel! I can’t imagine staying anywhere else on the island!

Wat kan ik meer zeggen? We waren er vorig jaar, we wilden absoluut terug komen en zullen er zeker volgend jaar opnieuw boeken. Mocht het kunnen blijven we er! Bedankt aan Helena, je bent een fantastische (gast)vrouw, met een oprechte glimlach en een goed gevoel voor humor. Het is niet zomaar een slogan dat je er 24/7 bent voor de gasten, je doet het gewoon! Bedankt voor alles en tot volgend jaar.

Stella’s place is a little gem in Vathi, peaceful and right in front of the sea. For those seeking relaxation, outstanding view, secluded and authentic atmosphere, it is a no brainer. Stella’s family, owning the best fish taverna of the island downstairs, is more than welcoming, always here to help and making you feel at home. The accommodation is spotless clean, equipped with air conditioning and a practical small kitchen. Highly recommended!

Πολύ ωραίο σπιτάκι, δροσερό, καθαρό και λειτουργικό. Από το μπροστινό μπαλκόνι δε χορταίνεις ν' απολαμβάνεις τη θέα στη θάλασσα, στον Γαλατά και στα καράβια που περνούν. Βρίσκεται σε πολύ κεντρικό σημείο, δίπλα σε εστιατόρια, καφέ και πάνω στην περαντζάδα. Η Τίνα ήταν πολύ κατατοπιστική και φιλική, από την αρχή. Θα ξαναμείνουμε στο Camelia House όταν επισκεφτούμε πάλι τον Πόρο.

La casa di Elena, semplicemente splendida, bellissima all'interno e dotata di ogni comfort, possiede un terrazzo con vista mozzafiato. A un passo dal porto, dalla strada dei ristoranti e da almeno due supermercati, corrisponde in tutto e per tutto alle foto e alla descrizione. Elena ci ha accolto con estrema gentilezza, fornendoci ogni sorta di informazioni, e ci ha offerto frutta, miele, vari tipi di caffè e pistacchi. Più di così non si può chiedere. Se torneremo a Perdika, certamente torneremo a casa di Elena! Un'ultima notizia: mia sorella e mio cognato sono stati in vacanza a Perdika con noi nello stesso nostro periodo e una sera sono venuti a cena a "casa nostra". Mio cognato ha detto che, se dovesse tornare a Egina, vorrebbe prendere in affitto la casa di Elena e ciò è molto significativo!

Poros, early spring Woke up to silence, the kind that doesn’t feel empty, just full of space. A quietly evocative stay. The house, designed with fine aesthetics, carried a subtle sense of beauty and calm. There’s something special in the way the light moves through the space, inviting a meditative state of stillness. The garden, shaped by patient hands, felt grounded and deliberate, a quiet extension of the house’s calm. Right across the sea, with almost no one around this time of year, the island feels suspended in an absence of time - like walking through a memory. Everything was well thought-out, spotless, and felt truly cared for, without pretension. Just the rhythm of the wind, waves, and the occasional sound of distant footsteps. One of those rare places that make you slow down and feel fully present.

We had wonderful stay at Maria`s place. House is beautifully situated in quiet part of the island with a great view from the terrace. Maria was very kind, and also gratious us with home made cake. We had very good communication with Kristina as well. We enjoyed our stay at the apartment, it was comfortable, spacious, clean and very well equiped. Recommend the place.

Had a wonderful time at this place. Can totally recommend! Would come again for sure!

Maison idéalement située, donnant directement sur la plage. La terrasse et la vue sont très agréables, et la maison est fonctionnelle et bien équipée. Marianna a été très réactive pour faciliter notre arrivée et pour répondre à nos questions. Merci pour ce séjour très agréable !

Leah’s place was really great, we had a very comfortable 6 nights on Hydra. The The host gave us clear instructions pre-check in and great recommendations on places to eat and things to do. The island is idyllic and the great location of this accommodation is an added bonus. The host was not on the island during our visit but any queries were dealt with promptly. We also had a lovely neighbor living close by that allowed us join her sunrise yoga class - what a highlight. The only caveat is the stairs to climb to reach the place, it will raise the heart rate slightly. But for us the effort paid off.

Maria heeft er werkelijk alles aan gedaan om ons een fijn verblijf te geven. Zoals ons ophalen in de haven, advies geven over de ferry (er was een staking), heerlijke verse cake en soep gemaakt, een rondleiding door het dorpje Perdika gegeven en hulp bij het boeken van een huurauto. Het appartement is werkelijk prachtig gelegen en van alle gemakken voorzien. Maria en Nikolas, dank jullie wel!

Sehr schöner und entspannter Aufenthalt!! Die Wohnung sehr zentral, alles gut zu Fuß zu erreichen, Danke für den tollen Aufenthalt und den hilfreichen Informationen, Herr Dimitrios ist ein sehr freundlicher und super netter Gastgeber Ευχαριστώ πολύ κ. Δημήτρη

Τα πάντα ήταν φανταστικά. Αξίζουν συγχαρητήριά...

Wij hadden een geweldig verblijf! Het huis ligt op een uitzonderlijke plek, adembenemend mooi. De weg er naartoe, hobbelige aarde weg van 15’, is niet voor elke chauffeur, maar je wordt het snel gewoon. Prachtige zichten onderweg, en ook ter plaatse. De keuze tussen 2 mooie natuurlijke stranden met transparant water. Wij waren er begin sept. en deelden 1 strand (met bomen voor wat schaduw) enkel met 2 sympathieke 80 jarige dames en hun hond Rosa, die er elke ochtend kwamen zwemmen. Het andere strand is echt ‘privé’ en zalig! Het huis is wat rommelig, zonder electriciteitsnet -niet voor veeleisende bezoekers. Je mag wel vrij gebruik maken van alles wat aanwezig is. Veel bedden om vrij te plaatsen waar je wil. Ik sliep buiten en genoot elke ochtend van een spectaculaire zonsopgang. Tip: ik nam een licht guirlande mee op zonne-energie die voor veel sfeer en aangename verlichting zorgde voor fijne avonden buiten op het terras. Fijn contact met de eigenaars. Een paradijsje! Merci!!!
