A truly fun route that belongs to the city trail category. Ideal for the athlete to know the urban fabric of Hydra. The alleys with the stone mansions will fascinate the runner.
The architecture style of the island may prompt you to ignore the time and just enjoy running. Besides, the distance of 5 km is ideal even for beginners. Of course the choice to make the route on Saturday afternoon is not accidental.
