The life!
​
One of the elements that contribute in Ikarians longevity is the communal way of life. There are plenty of opportunities to socialize in the island. In the morning as you are drinking your coffee, you can find yourself exchanging views about daily tasks, politics and social issues. When you have your lunch or dinner you can meet friends and sit and chat for hours.
*Ikarians like the night! From the dinner table to the cafe or the bar, conversations might start in the evening and end next morning!

The secret!
​
One of the reasons we love Ikaria is its pace. This is a place where time stands still. We invite you to be immersed in this culture. To breath, to notice your surrounding, connect with nature and its creatures.
