A special on the "The sun-soaked island of Hydra that has long inspired artists and intellectuals from Henry Miller to Leonard Cohen" was recently published in the New York Times’ "T Magazine." The article, penned by British journalist Lawrence Osborne, pays tribute to the island of artists; the island that mesmerized Henry Miller in 1939 and Leonard Cohen in 1960s, while American painter Brice Marden still owns a house on the island.

For Osborne, Hydra would always mean two things: "a few pages in Miller’s travelogue 'The Colossus of Maroussi' and the place where Patrick Leigh Fermor wrote most of his equally sublime 'Mani: Travels in the Southern Peloponnese' half a century ago, also in Ghikas’s villa."

Osborne also underlined that Miller had famously argued for the cultural importance of Greece, even in the modern age, noting that when looking at Hydra: "You cannot help feeling that here. Greece is everlasting."
