Up Close Picture of the Week: Ikaria, Greece
Saturday, February 4th, 2012The Greek Island of Ikaria (Icaria) is the perfect destination for travelers who like the outdoor life: those who want to surf, and camp. Ikaria is named after Icarus, who purportedly fell from the sky and landed in the nearby sea. Ikaria is part of the Greece’s eastern Aegean island group and is located in the center of the Archipelago, with Samos to the east, Mykonos to the west, Patmos to the south and Chios to the north. It is just one of the many islands covered in Mattie’s Guide to Greece’s Most Overlooked Islands.
