Audio Guide of Piedra del Amor (Love Rock)

As an open-air public viewpoint, it is open 24 hours a day all year round. It is a short walk west from Hydra's main harbor, following the paved coastal path past the cannons; it is impossible to miss.

No, access to Love Rock and the Boy on a Dolphin statue is completely free. It is a public space, perfect to enjoy at no cost, ideal for travelers seeking authentic experiences without overspending.

The visit is usually brief; 15 to 30 minutes is enough to enjoy the surroundings. This gives you time to admire the statue, take excellent photos of the landscape, and enjoy the sea breeze before continuing your walk.

This place is iconic for the statue commemorating the 1957 film Boy on a Dolphin starring Sophia Loren, which brought Hydra to worldwide fame. It represents the island’s enduring connection with cinema and the romantic beauty of the Aegean.

We strongly recommend going at sunset. From this point, the sunset casts spectacular colors over the sea and the neighboring island of Dokos, creating the most romantic and photogenic atmosphere of the day.

The path from the harbor is paved, but Hydra’s hilly terrain and some steps can make wheelchair access difficult. It is recommended to go with a companion or check the condition of the coastal path in advance.

You are just a few steps from the historic cannon bastions that protect the harbor and very close to the swimming area of Spilia. In addition, Hydra’s harbor itself, with its cafés and donkeys, is only a few minutes away on foot.

Wear comfortable walking shoes and keep your camera ready for the panoramic views. To better understand the history around you without missing any detail, we suggest carrying an IAudioguia audio guide on your phone.
