Island Tour
A FULL DAY ROUNDTRIP BY MINICOACH
The real Ikaria begins where the asphalt road stops and there are no more signs to indicate us the way. It would be very tempting to discover these roads alone and without any guide but the risk to lose your track is very high as well. So we have designed this tour especially for you to show you the most-hidden beauties of this island, places you wouldn’t possibly find by your own.
We start at 9.30 a.m. from Armenistis and we drive through Evdilos and the Mesaria area. We make a first stop in Akamatra, one of the oldest mountain villages on Ikaria to have a look at the village square with its beautiful neoclassical houses. After this we take a drive through the small villages of Dafni, Steli and Kosikia and Plagia.
We take a small walk from one side to the other in Plagia village to enjoy the breathtaking views
Our next stop is the capital of the island Agios Kirikos.
We first visit the Volklor Museum , then enjoy delicious” meze”dishes at the fishing harbour bars or walk the back-street market and get the flair of Greek lifestyle.
Then we visit Therma town.The hot mineral springs here were famous for their strong therapephtic chemical composition since the 5 century b.c
We will take a walk to see them and why not to try a relaxing bath in Cave lagoons.
Crossing the villages of Kountouma, Mavrato, Oxe and Monokampi where we drive through the mountaintops before reaching Karavostamo a the north side of the island.
We continue on the main road and we drive to Evdilos where we make a last stop.Here you can take a walk to discover the beautifull spots of the old town or even take a relaxing ouzo-brake at the harbour. We return over Kampos, Avlaki and Gialiskari to reach Armenistis again late in the evening.
