HYDRA IN WINTER: An Island Escape in Search of a Greek Pirate
Location(s): Hydra
Genre(s): Autobiography/Memoirs, Travelogue
Era(s): Contemporary
When Shelley Dark lands solo on the Greek island of Hydra for two weeks in the dead of winter, she’s not chasing sunny beaches. She’s hunting a pirate—her husband’s great-great-grandfather and Australia’s first Greek convict.
Armed with an umbrella, a cashmere scarf, and zero Greek skills, Shelley is ready to conquer the archives. But Hydra has other ideas: fresh seafood, exhilarating hikes, cats, donkeys, and warm, eccentric locals. What starts as a frantic quest soon reveals that the real treasures are the ones you weren’t looking for.
Funny, sparkling, and full of heart, Hydra in Winter is the ultimate travel memoir for solo adventurers, history buffs, and anyone daring to chase a dream.
