HYDRA COLLECTION ON GLAMFUSION ®
Magnificently quiet, disturbed only by the sounds of nature and by the gently rhythmic ebb and flow of the sea, the island of Hydra takes its name from the Greek word for water due to its natural springs, which the island was famous for in ancient times. It is located in the Aegean sea, off the Peloponnese. Home to a number of 18 th - and 19 th -century mansions, built into the steep slopes above the bay, over the years it has been popular with artists and members of the jet-set such as Jackie Onassis, Greta Garbo, Leonard Cohen and Jannis Kounellis, who have used it as a bolt-hole to steal away to and enjoy an authentic taste of Greek island life. As no cars are allowed here, visitors must either walk or take a donkey or a boat to get to the white pebble beaches and are encouraged by the island to reconnect with themselves and with nature. Dedicated to interior spaces that centre around water, Hydra Collection on GlamFusion ® brings a taste of the island’s sun-soaked feel and laid-back pace, those snap- shot moments and gorgeous views captured on long walks down to little rocky coves or to cliff-top monasteries.
Silenziosa, avvolta solo dai rumori della natura e dal respiro leggero del mare, l’isola di Hydra deve il suo nome al termine greco di acqua, per la presenza di sorgenti naturali note nell’antichità. È situata al largo delle coste del Peloponneso, immobile nell’Egeo. Accoglie nobili dimore del XVIII e XIX secolo, costruite ad anfiteatro lungo la baia, e le memorie di personaggi e artisti che vi hanno soggiornato alla ricerca di esclusività e autenticità, come Jackie Onassis, Greta Garbo, Leonard Cohen e Jannis Kounellis. Le auto sono bandite, ci si sposta a piedi, con l’asino o la barca, per raggiungere le spiagge di sassi bianchi: è un luogo che invita a riconnettersi con se stessi e all’armonia con la natura. Agli ambienti legati al mondo dell’acqua è dedicata Hydra Collection on GlamFusion ® , che restituisce le atmosfere solari dell’isola, il viaggiare lento, le istantanee di dettagli e panorami scattate nelle lunghe passeggiate per raggiungere le calette tra gli scogli o i monasteri inerpicati sui dorsali della montagna.
