Hydra Island in Greece is like many places in the world but cars are banned here, except for ambulances, garbage trucks and fire engines. People get around on mules, donkeys and ponies.

The Greek island of Hydra, home to about 2,500 people, bans cars and instead requires locals to use mules, donkeys or horses to get around, according to National Geographic.

Many visitors to the island are initially surprised to see no cars on the roads. According to National Geographic.

But tourists are also delighted and surprised to see locals riding mules, donkeys or horses on the paved roads. According to National Geographic.

Because there are no cars, no exhaust fumes, and no engine noise, Hydra Island is very clean. According to National Geographic.

In addition to helping people move horses, donkeys and mules are also used to transport goods and building materials. According to National Geographic.

In fact, cars were once used by people on the island of Hydra in the 18th and 19th centuries. According to National Geographic.

However, the roads on the island are often narrow, steep and rocky, making it difficult for cars to move, so the locals have resorted to using four-legged animals as a means of transportation. According to National Geographic.
