The especially designed studio rental has minimal colors and furnishings to give a modern tone and a freshness of comfort. It has all the amenities to prepare a breakfast or a meal to set you up for a day exploring Hydra or a night out in Hydra's exciting port. There is a Queen Size bed, and a kitchenet with Nespresso Coffee machine, flat tv with Netflix & Disney+, and highspeed internet. The Washing machine also is provided in the building free of charge but after co-operation with us.! You will be positively surprised with lovely hosting at Hydra's Ruby. As is common on Hydra, Hydra's Ruby is inaccessible to wheelchair users and the two stairs at the entry could be difficult for those with mobility issues. If you are a larger family or a group of friends, you can book the Hydra's Ruby with Hydra's Emerald. Hydra's Emerald can accommodate minimum three persons (Two on a double bed and one on a sofa - bed) and is located in the next building as the Hydra's Ruby.
Hydra's Ruby is located in a quiet neighborhood near the harbor and next to many places of interest. Within a radius of 100 to 150 meters around you can find taverns, super market, pharmacy, medical office, hospital and the Town Hall of the island. Whatever you need, you will not have any problem because everything is very close and you will find what you want. Within 5 to 7 minutes of the harbor, Hydra's Ruby keeps you away from the center but at the same time very close if you want to be there. An ideal area for Hydra. The "Cave" if you want to swim in the sea is just a 10-minute walk away and there you can swim and take your coffee by the sea. The return will be comfortable without hills and stairs. The same applies to the nightlife of the island. You can stay and enjoy your drink without worrying about going back and all the bars are at most 10 minutes away. Hydra will reveal to you all her secrets because you will just stay in her "heart".
