=== Captains' mansions === The Tsamadou mansion, on the left side as one enters the harbour, is now a Maritime Academy.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.hydra.com.gr/culture/merchant-marine/?lang=en |title=Hydra National Merchant Marine Academy |website=hydra.com.gr |access-date=15 March 2017}}</ref> The Tsamados family donated the mansion for the purpose of hosting the Greek Maritime Academy on their island. Another house, originally built for the Tsamados family on the hill overlooking the port was donated to the church to be used as a weaving school and production facility of textiles and carpets. The house now belongs to the [[Colloredo-Mansfeld]] family and became known as the [[Old Carpet Factory]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Loudon |first=Michael |title=Hydra.
