A MOUNTAIN RACE with a sea view
T
he Spetses Mini Marathon on the island of Spetses attracts a lot of people in October, gaining more and more of a cosmopolitan character. Its neighboring island, Hydra, the sophisticated small island of artists, hosted mountain racing with a sea view for the first time in 2014, with more than 500 Greek and foreign participations. Hydra is the most cosmopolitan island of the Argosaronic gulf, with an area of 52 square kilometers and a beautiful port with old mansions, museums, canons and battlements. There are no cars here, not even bikes, and visitors, mainly Americans and French, painters, rock stars, jet-setters seeking quiet, mount donkeys or sea taxis in search of the few but virgin beaches and the abandoned villages of the north.
