This month's picture · written by AI from the figures on this pageΗ Ύδρα είναι ένας μικρός τόπος με έντονη επιχειρηματική ζωή, με 208,2 επιχειρήσεις ανά χίλιους κατοίκους, πολύ πάνω από τη συνηθισμένη εικόνα της Αττικής, και χαρακτήρα που στηρίζεται στον τουρισμό, την εστίαση και το εμπόριο. Ξεχωρίζουν τα σουβενίρ, τα κοσμηματοπωλεία και τα καταλύματα, ενώ ιδιαίτερη κινητικότητα δείχνει η εκμίσθωση ακινήτων.

Same count as GEMI (General Commercial Registry), within 1%

active businesses: 431
companies opened in 12 months: 25
companies closed in 12 months: 7

"Businesses" are all active ones, sole proprietorships included. "Companies" are legal entities only (S.A., Ltd, P.C., general and limited partnerships etc.): only these keep their municipality in the registry when they close, which is why openings and closures count companies.

Sectors in Hydra municipality

105 sectors

Each sector also counts businesses that have it as a secondary activity; that's why wholesale trade, often declared alongside another line of work, ranks high.

How we measure →

At least this many. When unnamed businesses (sole proprietorships, general and limited partnerships) are few, we don't show them, because of GDPR. Personal data

Official value: ≈ 1,821 €/m²

Range 1,350–4,150 €/m² · In force since 01/01/2022 (FEK 2021) · The zones cover 1% of the municipality's area; the average price applies only to that part. The official value is the zone price the state sets to calculate taxes. It is not a market price or a property valuation.

We don't publish deed prices for this municipality: each property type needs at least 10 deeds in a year, and that isn't reached here.
