Ikaria

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.
