Well, the Tavern is closed but maybe one day someone will open it up again.

Sophia Loren and Greece
I get many requests for more photos of Sophia Loren, probably because of her Hydra connection with the film Boy on a Dolphin. This photo also has a Greek connection, see the Greek text.

Jacqueline Kennedy visits Hydra
This news broadside from Timely Events Inc. shows Mrs Kennedy visiting Hydra in 1961. The bulletin was published in June and maybe that's when it happened.
Anyone who can spot familiar Hydra faces in the photo? I can't.

70 years ago
This postcard was sent in 1939, check out how the boats look and I hardly see any cafés, maybe one or two beneath the sunshades. If you look at the Tassos house in the back, there's a large sunshade on the side, maybe there was a café open?

The house and the shop is back? (photo from 1973)
I found this old photo, it's from May 1973 and if you've been to Hydra recently you have seen that the house with the shop, that was in bad shape for many years and recently was a carpenter's shop, is now built up again. Also it seems like the houses in the back are reconstructed, and look just like they used to.
To the left in the photo is the old pharmacy, you see the balustrades on top.
