And out like a Lamb

The clocks changed as did the weather.

In like a Lion

Plus wind chill remember

In like a Lion

The old saw, March 1st may be ‘In like a Lion and Out like a Lamb” seemed too true this year. While the white sprinkle seen across from the Rock will be most unimpressive to those from more Northern latitudes, it is a chilly start to the month for us permanent inmates. Kalo Mena everyone, lets hope its warmer ‘lamb-time’ soon for all (Paska is only a month or so away).

Hydra Car Park!!

Metoxi directly opposite the island

Extensive and Secure.


Hydra is building an extensive and secure new parking lot!!
The unique difference that because the island is a motor free zone, one has to travel several miles across sea to get to (and from) it.
The increasing popularity of visitors driving to Metoxi (directly across from the Rock), and vehicle security concerns has compelled the construction of the new lot.
Metoxi directly opposite our Rock

Conveniant for those with vehicles.

It is nearing completion and should be ready for the new season.
