David Fagan is CEO, president, managing director, author, publisher, and chief bottlewasher of DavidFagan.org. On his first visit to Hydra back in 1983, David decided that owning a bar in this exotic location was an ideal way not to spend the rest of his life in the fast-lane of corporate advertising and journalism. It was an idea spawned by the Honorable Bill Cunliffe of Bill’s Bar, renowned wateringhole for anyone who knew this part of the world at the time. He and a couple of old-timers, Anthony Kingsmill and Leonard Bernstein, planted the seed: Come!

In like a Lion

The old saw, March 1st may be ‘In like a Lion and Out like a Lamb” seemed too true this year. While the white sprinkle seen across from the Rock will be most unimpressive to those from more Northern latitudes, it is a chilly start to the month for us permanent inmates. Kalo Mena everyone, lets hope its warmer ‘lamb-time’ soon for all (Paska is only a month or so away).

Hydra Car Park!!

Extensive and Secure.

Hydra is building an extensive and secure new parking lot!!
The unique difference that because the island is a motor free zone, one has to travel several miles across sea to get to (and from) it.
The increasing popularity of visitors driving to Metoxi (directly across from the Rock), and vehicle security concerns has compelled the construction of the new lot.

Conveniant for those with vehicles.

It is nearing completion and should be ready for the new season.
