The fiercely independent islanders see little reason
to pander to the whims of the modern day tourist so don't
come here expecting many bars and loads of adventure activities.
Ikaria will appeal to the discerning independent traveller
seeking a relaxing island retreat far from the madding mid-summer
crowds that descend on party islands.
According to legend Icarus plunged to his death off the
island's coastline after flying too close to the sun with
the wax wings made for him by his father Daedalus in a bid
to escape the Minotaur's labyrinth on Crete .
Once here you'll find a green and tranquil island with some
magnificent isolated beaches, a wealth of good walking trails
and plenty of good quality traditional tavernas serving
delicious home-made recipes.
