Why Ikaria? Because it is a secluded treasure waiting for you to find it. Centuries ago, pirates used to love this place but residents did not feel the same so they built their unique stone houses and churches without windows, with really small doors to protect themselves against them. When you visit our old church of Saint Dimitrius with Katafigi, you will see a hatch below the sanctuary - when things got really tough, local priests were hiding the Ikarians when pirates were attacking.
So, we hope you will enjoy our cobbled streets, the Byzantine castle of Nikaria, our local wineries, swim in the same sea with the bottlenose dolphin, enjoy our nightlife and relax in our natural thermal baths and untouched beaches. If it happens that you are here in August, come with us for our local Panagiria feast, where we eat traditional food and dance, dance and dance some more late into the night.

You will find so many photos about Ikaria on Internet. We thought it would be cool if we shared the ones our friends and guests took while they were here.
