Unlike popular islands like <a href=\"https:\/\/putovanje.in.rs\/16-plaza-mikonosa\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/putovanje.in.rs\/16-plaza-mikonosa\/\">Mykonos<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/putovanje.in.rs\/santorini-grcka\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/putovanje.in.rs\/santorini-grcka\/\">Santorini<\/a>, there is no glamour, luxury resorts and overcrowded beaches here. Ikaria is a symbol of authenticity and relaxed life - an island where time runs slower and life is measured by laughter, wine and longevity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The island is known around the world because its inhabitants are among the longest-lived people on the planet. The secret of a long life lies in a healthy Mediterranean diet, daily walks, absence of stress and a rich social life. If you want to feel the real &quot;slow living&quot;, Ikaria is a destination you must experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udc49 Don&#039;t let the lack surprise you <a rel=\"pon ored nofollow sponsored nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/airalo.tpk.mx\/Zk8iKJ4f\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/airalo.tpk.mx\/Zk8iKJ4f\">internet<\/a> while exploring the world!

Some of the most famous are <strong>Seychelles<\/strong>, <strong>Mesakti<\/strong>, <strong>Us<\/strong> i <strong>Meadows<\/strong>. For the more adventurous, there are hiking trails like the gorge <strong>Hallari<\/strong>, which ends at the beautiful Nas beach, one of the most beautiful places to watch the sunset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"568\" height=\"374\" src=\"https:\/\/putovanje.in.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Ostrvo-Ikarija-\u2013-autenticno-iskustvo-Egeja.jpg\" alt=\"Ostrvo Ikarija \u2013 autenti\u010dno iskustvo Egeja\" class=\"wp-image-2599\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:600px;height:350px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/putovanje.in.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Ostrvo-Ikarija-\u2013-autenticno-iskustvo-Egeja.jpg 568w, https:\/\/putovanje.in.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Ostrvo-Ikarija-\u2013-autenticno-iskustvo-Egeja-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 568px) 100vw, 568px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Villages <strong>Armenistis<\/strong>, <strong>Manganite<\/strong> i <strong>Karkinagri<\/strong> they reveal the soul of the island -

After they discovered the exit from the labyrinth, Minos forbade Daedalus and his son to leave <a href=\"https:\/\/putovanje.in.rs\/en\/vreme-u-heraklionu\/\">Crete<\/a>. To escape, Daedalus made wings of wax and feathers. Icarus, ignoring his father&#039;s advice, flew too high, approaching the sun. His wings melted and he fell into the sea that today bears his name - <strong>Icarian Sea<\/strong>, and the island was named in his honor <strong>Ikaria<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Anticki_period\"><\/span>Ancient period<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Archaeological findings show that Ikaria was inhabited as early as <strong>7th millennium BC.<\/strong>. During <strong>6th century BC.<\/strong> the island was dependent on Samos, but soon developed and became famous for its own <strong>thermal springs<\/strong>, which are still used today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the Persian Wars, Ikaria joined <strong>To the Delian League<\/strong>, and during the period of prosperity, numerous temples were built, such as <strong>Temple of Artemis in Nassau<\/strong>, one of the most important sanctuaries of that era. The island&#039;s prosperity declined sharply during <strong>Peloponnesian War<\/strong>, when Ikaria was exposed to pirate attacks and robberies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the end <strong>4th century BC.<\/strong>, the island joined <strong>Second Athenian League<\/strong>, and around 230 BC it fell under the rule of the Romans, when it was included in the Roman province <strong>Asia<\/strong>, along with Samosa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vizantijski_period_%E2%80%93_Ostrvo_Ikarija\"><\/span>Byzantine period - Island of Ikaria<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From <strong>3rd century AD.<\/strong>, Ikaria was part of the Byzantine Empire. The remains of several have been preserved from that time <strong>Byzantine castles and odeons<\/strong>. Due to the frequent attacks of pirates, the inhabitants are during <strong>12th century<\/strong> left the coast and retreated to the interior of the island. They built for protection <strong>Koskina Castle<\/strong>, which still bears witness to that period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the fall of Byzantium in 1204, the island briefly came under the rule of the Latin Empire in Constantinople, then during the 14th century it became part of <strong>Genoese Aegean Empire<\/strong>. Not long after, they took over the government <strong>Knights with <a href=\"https:\/\/putovanje.in.rs\/en\/ostrvo-rodos\/\">Rhodes<\/a><\/strong>, in order to conquer the island in 1521 <strong>Ottoman Turks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Od_osmanske_okupacije_do_oslobodenja\"><\/span>From the Ottoman occupation to liberation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The inhabitants of Ikaria offered strong resistance to the Ottomans. They participated in <strong>to the Greek War of Independence in 1821<\/strong>, and in 1827 they managed to break away temporarily. However, <strong>By the London Protocol of 1830.<\/strong> it was decided that the northeastern Aegean islands, including Ikaria, would remain under Turkish occupation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Day <strong>July 17, 1912<\/strong>, the Icariotes revolted, expelled the Turkish officials and declared the independence of the island themselves. However, just a few months later, on November 4, 1912, the Greek army officially liberated Ikaria, which was then annexed to Greece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Savremena_istorija_%E2%80%93_Ostrvo_Ikarija\"><\/span>Contemporary History - The Island of Ikaria<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The inhabitants of the island often resented the weak investment of the central Greek government, so they developed a strong sense of independence. They received great help from <strong>emigrants from Ikaria<\/strong> in the USA and Australia, who sent money and built schools, churches and roads.<\/p><div id=\"putov-3783428272\"
