7Ikaria – Where Time Slows Down

Ikaria is famous for its relaxed lifestyle and the longevity of its inhabitants. Visiting in autumn means experiencing the island at its most authentic. While beaches like Seychelles remain inviting, the cooler weather encourages hiking the lush mountains and exploring traditional villages.

Autumn is also festival season in Ikaria, with music, dancing, and local feasts showcasing Ikarian culture. Travelers can hike through chestnut forests, taste seasonal wines, and enjoy quiet coastal walks, making Ikaria a perfect off-season escape for nature lovers and culture seekers alike.
