The best place to live in the world?..........
As one of five identified 'blue zones' in the world, Ikaria is a place where people seem to have an enchanted life, living longer than most others in the world.
As such, this dreamy island is becoming more well known even though it is still difficult to get to. Part of the reason for this, is that the island is remote and is not well served by the ferry network.
The island is named after Ikarus, the mythological story states that he flew too close to the sun and plunged into the sea at this very spot in the Aegean. The island is long and thin and hills soar to over 1000 metres, giving some spectacular views.
Most villages have a few tavernas and if you do want to explore the varied landscape (which includes lakes, monasteries and traditional villages) we do recommend car hire as public transport on the island is limited.
Please be aware that due to ferry and flight timings, a stay overnight in Athens, Thessaloniki or Samos may be required in either direction.

Happy People
The team have booked three very different holidays for me, two for a couple and one for a group of nine. They listened to our requirements and used their expert knowledge of Greece to provide us with several options from which to choose. I found them to be very professional, nothing is too much trouble and they strive to find a good deal. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

The business has booked me a few different holidays ranging from 2 weeks away in the sun to City Breaks. They have a great knowledge and understanding of your needs and requirements when booking a holiday. They always try to accommodate your budget and work extremely hard to get you what you're asking for. They have an extremely good knowledge of the Greek Islands and never fail when recommending specific places. I would always recommend the team as they are helpful and professional at all times.

Fantastic service. I explained what kind of holiday I was looking for and my budget and they came up with different options to choose from. Nothing was too much trouble and the communication was first class. I would definitely recommend and would not hesitate in using this 5 star service again.
