We got breakfast right when we got off the boat at one of the many restaurants lining the harbor. Then we went to the town museum (the Historical Archives Museum of Hydra), which mostly has items relating to the island's role in the Balkan wars and Greek Independence. Then we went to what looks like the remains of a fort. Then we spent most of the rest of the day just walking around the town and to the next town over and stopping for drinks or food every once in a while. It was nice to just relax a bit and not have a million things to see. Granted, if we had more than a day there, it sounds like there are some cool monasteries further inland that would be cool to see. But I think you need two days to see more than just the port and the immediate area. One day to hike out to the monasteries, and one day to explore the port. Anyway, here are some pictures.
