The Ikaria Guidebook (3rd edition, 2024) just got released! It’s 148-pages long and contains lots of professional maps created especially for this book, leading you far beyond what’s now becoming Ikaria’s crowded/touristy summer spots. We write this book so that visitors can truly come to explore and better understand the essence of Ikaria island. The information contained in this guidebook was prepared with local support and on-the-ground foot-by-foot ‘time-ticking-to-a-different-beat’ extensive fieldwork and map making. With this guidebook you can read all about Ikaria in one place and then decide how to best plan your own exploration of the island! Without this guidebook, you may miss a lot of what the island truly has to offer.
