Trekking trip to Ikaria, Greece.

Forget houses with blue doors, white walls, little churches scattered everywhere: Ikaria is the rebellious and anarchic Greek island. The island is among the longest-lived areas in the world, thanks to its slow rhythms, the mountains, the nature, the cultivated fields where the elderly live.

With an itinerant, non-sedentary, backpack-on-the-shoulder circular itinerary, we will walk among the imposing nature of the island, its ridges, the peaks over 1000m, the sound of the waterfalls, the lakes with frogs, and obviously its heavenly sea .

Possibility of swimming in a natural thermal area.

Come with us to breathe human contact and immerse yourself in the lush nature of Ikaria!
