Ídra Khóra - Harbor

On both sides of the harbor are the imposing mansions of early 19th century shipowners and merchants, including the houses of Admiral Iakovos Tombazis (now occupied by an outstation of the Athens Academy of Art) and Dimitrios Voulgaris. One such mansion houses a training school for the merchant navy. The plain white and sometimes color-washed houses of the town on the slopes above the harbor are rather Cycladic in type.
