Experience Ikaria the Authentic Way
Ikaria offers two kinds of experiences. One is the tourist scene: the busy beaches, bustling restaurants and hotels. The other is quieter and more elusive: a deeper immersion into the island’s unique rhythms, shaped by a farmer’s tracks, the nature of mountains, the sea, and a collective sense of remoteness.
The first type of experience is easy to find. The second requires a different approach— and for this you’ll probably want to read my travel notes.
