Ikaria is one of the most beautiful and unusual Greek islands we have ever set eyes upon. Its mountains, forests and beaches combine with the island’s many legends, foibles and traditions in a heady Aegean cocktail. All the more wonder then that Ikaria is so little known.
Getting to Ikaria Thursday day flight Gatwick or Manchester to Samos (or tailor-made from Heathrow with overnight in Athens and domestic flight). Then 3 hours by ferry, and 30-90 minutes (depending on which port the ferry docks) by taxi or minibus.
