I will be visiting Athens, and I'd love to visit some of the islands. Hydra looks really nice and special and I'd like to spend a day in the village and the nature there.

However, the only transportation I can find from Athens is a 51 Euro round trip ticket, which seems quite expensive.

Does anyone know a cheaper way with the ferry? For example, is there a slower, old school, ferry?

    Are you willing to swim? If not, what are your requirements, other than 'cheapest'? Are you looking specifically for the cheapest public ferry?

Hellenic Seaways are using flying dolphins that's why tickets are expensive. I could not find any route with a "traditional" ferry from Piraeus to Hydra.

Your only alternative would be a coach Athens to Galatas (return) costs 25 Euros (175 kilometers - 2 hours and 30 minutes). Galatas to Metochi is 30 minutes away (not sure how you'd get there) and then Metochi to Hydra is either 6.5 Euros or 8 Euros, by boat. Some more timetables here.
