2Ikaria – The Island of Longevity

Ikaria is known worldwide for the remarkable longevity of its residents, many of whom live well into their 90s. Greeks love to visit Ikaria for its laid-back lifestyle, unspoiled beaches, and vibrant panigiria (traditional festivals). The island is famous for its natural hot springs, hiking trails, and slow pace of life.

Unlike more tourist-heavy islands, Ikaria remains untouched by mass tourism, offering visitors the chance to embrace the Ikarian way of living, which revolves around socializing, healthy eating, and stress-free living.
