Hydra island: 3-day break to view the most prestigious regatta in Greece

The “lady” of the Saronic gulf islands, welcomes Spring in the most spectacular way.

The sailing races which are hosted by the Hellenic Offshore Sailing Club in the island of Hydra, usually coincide with the National holiday of the 25th of March and signal the commencement of the most prestigious sailing regatta in Greece.

 

The sailing season takes place twice annually, with the Autumn ones occurring on the other National holiday of the country on the 28th of October. The Spring races, though, are especially devoted to the herald of the summer season and they constitute one of the most significant events of the year for all Greek islands.

The first Spring sailing races were organized in the island of Hydra back in 1973 by the Hellenic Offshore Sailing Club and the event has been gathering a large number of boats every consecutive year ever since.

Greece’s most prestigious sailing regatta is, indeed, a spectacle that you must experience. For your accommodation arrangements in Hydra island, select to stay at the exquisite and very picturesque Leto Hotel.
