Hollywood actor Brad Pitt has quietly departed the Greek island of Hydra, relocating his luxury yacht to a secluded cove to evade media scrutiny after wrapping up his latest film shoot.

Seeking to avoid paparazzi and crowds, the actor's vessel raised anchor from the main harbor over the weekend and moved to the quieter Kamini area.
Captain Giorgos Vallis, president of the Panhellenic Union of Crews of Private and Professional Yachts, confirmed the discreet departure.
Mr. Vallis noted that
the production team kept the exact exit timeline strictly under wraps.
The low-profile getaway caps a highly publicized winter visit that temporarily transformed the tranquil, car-free island into an Aegean red carpet.
Famous for its cinematic history dating back to the 1957 film "Boy on a Dolphin," Hydra experienced an unexpected off-season economic boom.
Local restaurants reopened months early, and ferries delivered heavy loads of production gear to accommodate the Hollywood crew.
Neither the film's production company nor Mr. Pitt’s representatives have issued an official comment regarding his departure.
The actor's quiet exit officially closes a high-profile chapter that briefly made the small Saronic Gulf island a global focal point.
