Ikaria islandThe exotic island of long life
Ikaria looks similar to other Greek islands with its beautiful coves, rocky cliffs, steep valleys, and broken canopy of scrub and olive groves. But there is one vital difference: people here live much longer than those in the rest of the world – around one in three Ikarians lives into their 90s. Are you ready to uncover their secret?
From the moment you set foot on the island, you will witness the magical spirit and the colorful optimism that remains unique. Indeed, the island moves in relaxing rhythms, and time stands still, showcasing its unique philosophy. Ikarians have a legendary capacity for fun, food, joy, music, and drink, which is evident in every village on the island.
While on the island, don’t miss out on visiting its pristine beaches: Mesahti, huge and golden, ideal for water sports, sandcastles, refreshing drinks, and the soothing sound of the waves while your soul drinks in the blue horizon. And Seychelles, an exotic, small, beautiful beach, reached after a good ten-minute hike. White rocks, boulders, and cliffs combine with translucent blues to magic up the stuff of dreams.
