Paralia Agios Nikolaos

Paralia Agios Nikolaos is a beach located on the island of Hydra, known for its clean water and unforgettable natural environment. The beach is reachable either by boat or on foot, with the latter being a relatively long hike from Hydra town that offers a chance to see the diverse environments on the island. The beach is not typically crowded early in the day, but it is suggested to arrive early to secure a good spot. Sunbeds and umbrellas are available for rent, and there is also a canteen on-site where visitors can purchase refreshments, drinks, and snacks. Toilets are also available for public use. The beach is unique in Hydra for its lack of slippery stones, a common feature on other beaches on the island. It also features a beach bar that offers food, drinks, and coffee. The beach is pebbly at the water's edge, but the water itself is clear and clean. While the beach is generally safe, visitors should be aware that weather conditions can occasionally make the boat journey to and from the beach challenging. Despite this, the beach remains a popular destination for its natural beauty and amenities.
