Business Insider: Hydra among 17 tiny European islands you should definitely visit

The Greek island of Hydra is among “17 tiny European islands that you’ve probably never heard of, but should definitely visit”, according to uk.businessinsider.com.

The article argues that “you’ve probably heard of Ibiza, Corsica, and Santorini. But are you familiar with Formentera, Juist, or Saaremaa? Flying well under the tourist radar, these islands are a must-visit for anyone who feels that they have exhausted Europe’s typical destinations. Even if you haven’t done much traveling in Europe, though, these breathtaking islands are well worth the detour. They boast laid-back cultures, quiet charm, and an unspoiled nature that simply cannot be matched by the European mainland. So pack your best camera, and get ready for an adventure.”

Especially about Hydra it notes: “Although it’s easily reachable from Athens, Hydra feels like a world away. Cars and bikes are banned on the island, so donkeys carry tourists’ luggage up the winding cobblestone streets. Beyond cute, pebbly beaches full of bars and restaurants, Hydra boasts upscale shops and numerous nautical museums.”
