The charm of Ikaria stems mainly from mythology as the island is connected to the tragic fate of Icarus who wanted to fly as high as the sun without taking into account the fact that his wax wings would melt from the heat.
The island is located close to Samos, near the edge of the Cyclades and Asia Minor, and it is known for its waters filled with fish and the thermal springs that are a miracle cure for many diseases. The beaches of Ikaria are among the most beautiful beaches of the Aegean.
Travellers looking for wild beauty will be enchanted by this fascinating island with its lacy coastline which simultaneously coexists with green cliffs, beautiful beaches and the blue of the sea. |
