Mansion of Lazaros Kountouriotis

This was my favorite museum I went to while visiting Hydra. It is a great opportunity to see more of the island away from the port as you walk up small winding roads to get here. The museum is a great mix of Hydra history/artifacts and other exhibits, like one on Greek tourism that was on when I visited. Admission also includes admission to the Tetsis Home & Studio nearby which was small but really beautiful to see.

Personally I don't think it deserves the 10 euro for a ticket. It's not accessible to people with disabilities. The person I went with has less eyesight and they had a hard time bc of the stairs and the lights. It was like six rooms to see and then you go down the stairs, you find toilets(again stairs) and the posters promoting Greece.(You see from the photos I submitted) The experience was difficult as it was not accessible. Wouldn't recommend it if you have any disabilities! The staff was really friendly ☺️

Big yellow house at top of town. Rooms with original furniture and paintings. Basement had good exhibition on Greek tourism history. €5 admission.Small cafe, not open. It's a BIG climb up many stairs to reach house.

Lovely museum, previous house of Koundouriotis family. Lots items to look at and admire plus temporary exhibitions. Great views to Hydra port. Keep your ticket as you can use it for a free entrance at Tetsis house-museum.

Calm, chill tour. Air conditioned. Extremely minimalist design and decor compared to other preserved homes of that era, which I guess is interesting in of itself. Very clean bathrooms.

Insteresting cultural stop on Hydra. The lady at the reception desk was charming and talked to us about the island and museum. There is a nice collection of folkloric costume upstairs. Very well preserved house giving a glimpse of insular life in the late 18th century golden period.

Worth a visit for an insight into how this wealthy family lived; wonderful views too.

Good art anda glimpse of living in the past. View is amazing but the walk up is not for the faint hearted
