Hydra Municipality To Name Street After Leonard Cohen

The Municipality of Hydra will honor late song-writer Leonard Cohen by naming the street outside of his house after him, during a tribute this June 2017 on Hydra.

The Canadian songwriter poet, novelist and painter bought his three-storey house on Hydra in 1960, where he lived with his partner Marianne Ihlen. While living on the Greek island, he created some of his most renowned works including songs “So long, Marianne” and “Bird on a Wire”, his novel “The Favorite Game” and the poem collection “Flowers for Hitler”.

The Municipality will also reveal a stone bench in his memory, donated by the International Forum of the Friends of Leonard Cohen.
