Arrive as customers, leave as friends. - When we got to Hydra on Sunday we only had one activity booked - during that activity we asked Harriet if she could recommend one other things for us to do while we were there, what would it be? She said go fishing with Yiannis. We immediately got in contact with him and they were able to get us on a trip out the following day. The other couple who booked on that trip were sick that day so it ended up being just myself and my partner. It was our last day in Hydra, and when we say we can not recommend this experience enough we mean it. Katerina and Yiannis were so welcoming and kind. Katerina told us all about the island as we navigated down the coast, pointing out interesting facts, old sailing myths, and telling us the history of the island. We learned about how she ended up on Hydra and about Yiannis's family going back generations in the island. We got to watch Yiannis use traditional Greek fishing techniques and we even caught an octopus! They brought us to a secluded beach and we were able to explore, snorkel, and hunt for sea glass. My wife must have found nearly a pound of it! After jumping off the boat in to the bluest water you could ever imagine and enjoying the playlist curated by DJ Yiannis, we worked up quite the appetite. Now we had many incredible meals during our two weeks but this was hands down the best food we ate. Simple, clean, impeccable prepared fish, octopus, salad, bread. The Fava, we are going to come back to see them just for his fava and yiayia's bread. We shared many laughs and had the best day we could have hoped for. When we hoped off the boat it truly felt like we were leaving two new friends. Please do yourself a favor and experience this for yourself.

A unique and unforgettable experience - Fishing with Yiannis is an absolute must for anyone visiting Hydra. You are welcomed onto the both of Yiannis and Katerina with open arms and are treated with the ultimate Greek hospitality. From the care and consideration they give you whilst travelling to tell you the ins and outs of the landscapes to the insight into traditional fishing techniques - the experience is unique! You receive breakfast, lunch (including your catch from the day) and fresh fruit. Snorkelling and swimming too makes this a day we wont forget. Thank you both so so so much - i had such a wonderful birthday!

A day with Moby Dick - Leaving the harbour we soon see a whale quietly sitting on the water. It is not long before we understand it is trying to hide from Captain Achab who is really nearby. We are sailing between islets and islands a magic for the unfamiliar. Slowly putt-putting closer to the fishing area next to Moby’s side. Yannis picks up his lines. There’s very little bait left on the hooks but quite a few “congres” and “red snappers” (not sure about the exact species, I ll have to go back). Lunch is cooked on the boat: fresh catch, fava spiced up, salad and plenty of white wine from Yannis’ friend. On the way back to Hydra we pass kayakers finishing circum navigating the Mediterranean (cf pix) the last surprise of the day.

A very special experience - We had a fantastic experience on the boat, seeing spots that we wouldn’t normally be able to see and learning all about the island from Katerina. It was a very special time with the most lovely and authentic meal to top it off. I would recommend the trip as an essential to anyone coming to hydra.

Perfect day to end our Greek Islands cruise - Would recommand this activity for anyone that want to experience Hydra from the sea. We were in Hydra for a day, during our cruise tour around the greek islands. It was the perfect experience to end our cruise. Katerina and Yiannis were waiting for us when we got off the boat, we sailed along the island of Hydra, catch plenty of fish, snorkelled in pue crystal water. We got to eat the fish we catched. The food was delicious, the experience was amazing and Katerina and Yiannis were wonderful.

The most authentic experience in Hydra! - We loved fishing, swimming and eating afterwards the fish we caught. It’s the most unique experience someone can have in the island of Hydra. It was so worth it! Giannis was extremely kind and explained everything the whole day. He is an amazing cook also! Will not forget his fava!!
