The Miranda Palace was originally the palace of a wealthy sea captain built in 1810, a good example of the characteristic local architecture. It is 100 meters from the port and 200 meters from the main Ydra beach. Miranda features unique rooms, some of which feature old painted ceilings by Venetian artists. They are all air-conditioned and offer views of the garden or the sea. The hotel is in a beautiful and quiet location, just a 3-minute walk from the harbor and the world life of Hydra. Staff at the 24-hour front desk are happy to provide information on local attractions and things to do. Set in a former naval captain's house dating from 1810, this elegant hotel is a 5-minute walk from both the Hydra ferry terminal and the historic archive - the Hydra Museum.
