The Walking Society
Kids of Hydra
The future of the island
The Walking Society
Despite a population of under 2000 and only three schools on the island, Hydra maintains a lower average age than the rest of Greece. Later in life, many children choose to remain on their island rather than travel abroad, which bodes well for Hydra’s future.
The local football team, Athletikòs Ydras, is made up of children and adults, a sign that the island's youth is revered. Sometimes, during training, the official team shares its pitch with groups of kids playing their own matches, highlighting tolerance and togetherness regardless of age.
