Arbeli House for idyllic sun & sea holidays in Mandraki Bay, Hydra | House in Idra

Arbeli House is a perfect, traditional, idyllic Hydra Island house overlooking Mandraki Bay with spectacular views and only a short flight of steps to the beach. It's a wonderful holiday home for families who want a more simple beach, sun & messing around-in-the-sea type of holiday. But it's only a 20-minute walk, or quick boat ride, into Hydra harbour for those who also want the bright lights of town. There are 2 beaches in Mandraki Bay with taverna dining at 1800 or the Mandraki Beach Resort for gourmet dining.
From the level coast road, there is a short flight of 58 steps through the garden of Arbeli House which brings you to the back, top terrace. Here you will find the traditional oven & grill for times when you want to cook out-of-doors and steps that lead up to the roof terrace.
