Ikaria is famous for being one of the world’s Blue Zones, where residents live exceptionally long and healthy lives. This island in the northeastern Aegean has a unique rhythm of life, where time seems to slow down, and visitors are welcomed with warm hospitality.
Ikaria’s rugged landscapes offer fantastic hiking trails, leading to hidden waterfalls, mountain villages, and therapeutic hot springs. The island is also known for its traditional “panigiria” (festivals), where locals and visitors dance to live music, drink local wine, and celebrate until dawn. The beaches of Ikaria, such as Seychelles and Nas, provide a wild and untouched beauty that feels worlds away from the busy tourist hotspots of Greece.
