9Ikaria – The Island of Longevity

Ikaria is famous for its residents’ extraordinary lifespan, often attributed to their relaxed lifestyle and Mediterranean diet. Off season, the island becomes even more magical.

Hiking trails through lush mountains and hot springs near Therma are best enjoyed without summer crowds. In spring, wildflowers cover the hillsides, while autumn is harvest season, offering travelers a chance to taste fresh local wine and produce directly from family-run tavernas.
