The island emerged as a tourist destination in the 1950s and 1960s when it was discovered by painters, poets and artists such as Leonard Cohen who made it his permanent home. The film lens and famous stars turned this barren rock into a famous Mediterranean resort and a source of inspiration for great figures of the arts and spirit.
Hydra remains today a unique destination with a unique architectural and historical identity.
