Hydra is experiencing an unprecedented surge in visitors as Hollywood star Brad Pitt begins filming his new movie on the picturesque Saronic island.

Production was initially scheduled to start on Clean Monday — the first day of Lent in the Greek Orthodox calendar — but heavy crowds have pushed the first shoots to Tuesday, Feb. 24. Filming is expected to continue through early March, likely until March 5, before moving on to Athens.

Hydra Hotels at 100% Occupancy

In recent days, finding accommodation on Hydra has become virtually impossible. The island is operating at full capacity, with hotels and rental properties reporting 100% occupancy. Even small rooms are unavailable, as visitors, media crews and film production staff have filled every corner of the island.

Local businesses are already seeing the benefits. Restaurants and cafes, which would normally prepare for a gradual spring opening, have been operating at full speed for weeks. The filming has effectively launched Hydra’s tourist season earlier than expected.

International Media Descend on Hydra

Television crews, journalists and photojournalists from around the world have set up on the island, hoping to capture a glimpse of the Oscar-winning actor.
