If you have your own car or a rental, you can easily drive from Athens to Metochi—an area located directly opposite Hydra—in about 2 hours and 45 minutes.

Following Attiki Odos and then the Athens-Corinth National Road, immediately after the Isthmus, take Exit 10 (Corinth - Epidaurus). Turn left under the bridge onto the road leading to Loutra Oraias Elenis and continue toward Epidaurus.

Drive for about 45 minutes until you reach the Epidaurus junction. Shortly before, you will see signs for Poros or Spetses. At the junction, go right and then immediately left under the bridge.

Further down, at another junction, bear left at the sign indicating "To Poros." Following the coastal road, you will reach Galatas (opposite Poros) in about 35 minutes.

Cross through Galatas and continue along the same coastal road. You will pass through the areas of Plaka - Lemonodassos - Aliki, and after approximately 35 minutes, you will arrive at Metochi.

The road is quite good, and the total trip from Athens to Metochi at an average speed takes about 2 hours and 45 minutes.

Metochi is the closest point on the Peloponnese to Hydra. There is parking available (including guarded parking) where you can leave your car. You can cross to Hydra in just 15 minutes via the frequent daily departures of the boats "FREEDOM I, II, III & IV."

From Metochi, you can also travel to Hydra at any time of day by Sea Taxi.

Alternatively, you can drive from Athens to Ermioni in approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes.

Follow the same route as above toward Epidaurus. At the junction after the bridge, continue straight following the signs for "Spetses and Hydra."

After about 40 minutes, and just before reaching Kranidi, you will see a sign for "Ermioni," which you will reach shortly after.

The road is in good condition. From Ermioni, you can cross to Hydra in 30 minutes via the daily "SPEED BOAT CHRISTOS" & "ELENA STAR" services.
