About Ikaria
Ikaria is one of the world's 'Blue Zones', known for the longevity of its residents, credited partly to a diet, herbal teas, napping and a famously relaxed relationship with time and schedules. Life here runs on its own clock: shops open late, panigyria (village festivals) run until dawn.

Tips
- Join a summer panigyri (village festival) if your visit lines up — they run late with local food, wine and dancing.
- Try the island's herbal mountain teas and honey, part of its longevity reputation.
- Don't over-schedule — ferries and services run on Ikarian time, which means flexible.
