Editing Hydra (island) (section)

=== Monasteries and the Cathedral ===
There are numerous churches and six [[Eastern Orthodox Church|Orthodox]] [[monasteries]] on the island. Two particularly noteworthy monasteries are Profitis Ilias, founded in the 10th century, and Ayia Efpraxia. Both are on a hill overlooking the main harbour.

The island's cathedral is the old Monastery of the Dormition of the Virgin and sits on the quayside in the town. The monastery contains the tomb of [[Lazaros Kountouriotis]], the richest sea captain on Hydra, who gave his entire fortune to support the [[Greek War of Independence]].<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.hydraislandgreece.com/portfolio/cathedral-of-hydra/ |title=Cathedral of Hydra |date=6 November 2010 |work=Inside Hydra Island Greece {{!}} Hydra News & Info from Hydra Locals|access-date=15 March 2017|language=en-US|archive-date=15 March 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170315181950/http://www.hydraislandgreece.com/portfolio/cathedral-of-hydra/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
