“Ikaria is known for two things - its rugged beauty and the longevity of the locals’ lives.”
The Greek Island of Ikaria lies about 30 miles off the western coast of Turkey. It’s known mainly for two things - its rugged beauty of jagged ridges of scrub-covered mountains rising steeply out of the Aegean Sea, and the longevity of the locals' lives. It has one of the highest rates of centurions per head of population in the world.
You can experience a half day walking tour giving you insight to why the people of Ikaria live so long.
Enjoy a scenic walking tour through a breathtaking winery at at 600m altitude with stunning sea views. Savour local wine and gastronomic pairings along the way, followed by a winery tour and traditional Ikarian lunch with fresh, local ingredients. Led by certified sommelier and winemaker Mr. K. Afianes, this is a true taste of Ikarian culture.
