SIMPLICITY AND FREEDOM
Few islands have as distinctive an identity as Ikaria. The legendary festivals, the wild natural beauty and the temperament of the locals are only some of the elements that define it.
The simplicity of the Mediterranean diet, based on a rare, self-sufficient agri-food wealth, drives away anything stressful or superfluous and keeps only what is essential. From colocasia to rasko and from kathoura to anamma, Ikaria’s primary production offers a truly unique variety. When this is combined with the islanders’ famously relaxed pace of life, good red wine and their skills in fishing in a generous sea, the result is one of the planet’s five “Blue Zones,” that is, a place where the inhabitants live beyond 100 years of age.
