Mandraki

Rouse yourself to explore Hydra’s arty assets. Slap on a hat and your comfiest shoes and set out 15 minutes the opposite way, towards Mandraki, to the old Slaughterhouse. This somewhat eerie, cliffside art space was repurposed by Greece’s foremost art collector Dakis Ioannou to host DESTE’s annual summer exhibition and draws big hitters from everywhere (look out for Ioannou’s splashy yacht in the harbour; Jeff Koons painted it).
