Greece -- Hydra

Hydra is an island, about 2 hours by ferry from the port of Athens at Piraeus. Only municipal and repair vehicles are allowed on Hydra. Routine deliveries are done by mule or horse.

 

The church on this tiny island is a popular place to get married. Only the bride and groom and the priest land on the island. The wedding guests surround the island in boats.
