Information
Ikaria is located west of Samos. Its surface is 255 km2 and it is considered as a gorgeous mountainous island. Its history is connected with the myth of Icarus, the first human who ever attempted to fly with wings made of feathers and wax.
Being very excited with this unprecedented experience, he flied too close to the sun, and as a result the wax melted and he fell into the sea where he drowned, near the shores of the island which was named after him.
