Hydra
There are no cars or scooters on Hydra which also adds significantly to its appeal and over the years it has attracted a large number of famous artists and bohemians including Leonard Cohen who called it home for 20 years.
If you don’t have time to spend a few days (or weeks) on Hydra then it is really worth a day trip from Athens which is quite doable.
