7Ikaria – The Island of Longevity
Ikaria, located in the northeastern Aegean, is known for its residents’ remarkable longevity. The island’s relaxed pace of life, Mediterranean diet, and strong sense of community contribute to its reputation as a “Blue Zone.”
Ikaria offers unspoiled beaches, natural hot springs, and picturesque mountain villages. The island is also famous for its panigiria (traditional festivals), where locals celebrate with live music, dancing, and delicious food well into the early morning hours.
