Around 80km south of Athens, on the Aegean Sea, lies the quaint little island of Hydra. With its charming combination of rolling green hills and beaches, the sound of donkey hooves clacking on cobblestones and the restaurants overlooking the port, it makes for a compelling touristic destination. But there is something that sets this island apart from others: at its heart lies a history rooted in art and creativity, which remains present to this day.
