It is located 100 metres from the port and 200 metres from Ydra’s main beach. Miranda features uniquely styled rooms, some with old hand-painted ceilings made by Venetian artists. They are all air conditioned and offer garden or sea views. Free Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels and a seating/dining area are standard. A homemade breakfast with fresh local products is served at the hotel’s garden, full of flowers and lemon trees.

Declared a National Heritage monument by the Ministry of Culture, the Miranda has a fine collection of 18th and 19th century furniture, prints and paintings. Several art exhibitions of a high standard take place annually in the Miranda Art Gallery. The hotel is located in a beautiful and quite location, only 3 minutes walk from the harbour and the cosmopolitan life of Hydra. 24-hour reception staff will be happy to offer information on local attractions and things to do.

Piraeus Islands – Trizonia. These small havens, located in close proximity to Athens are true gems to explore because of their absolute natural beauty, their historical treasures and unique architecture, and their glamorous, yet romantic atmosphere. Aegina, Poros, Hydra and Spetses, each having a different special character, have developed a lot in tourism over the last years, while Agistri and Methana are not that famous but remain unexploited little gems. Given their proximity to Athens and their beauty, the Piraeus Islands and Trizonia are hugely popular destinations, with Aegina almost becoming a city suburb at weekends. Poros, Ydhra (Hydra) and Spetses are similar in the summer, though their visitors include a higher proportion of foreign tourists. More than any other group, these islands are best out of season and midweek, when visitors (and prices) fall dramatically and the port towns return to a quieter, more provincial pace. Located at Hydra, Argosaronic Islands, 18040, Greece, Miranda is the ideal choice for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of Athens without having to venture too far. Piraeus Islands – Trizonia feature picturesque harbors, museums and Neoclassical mansions, narrow, winding streets, charming beaches and unspoiled, natural beauty. Book a room with Miranda and discover the distinctive character of the Argo-Saronic Gulf.
