Mountainous IkarÃa, at first sight forbidding and windswept, is one of the most idiosyncratic islands of the Aegean, home to much unaffected beauty and a fierce sense of community. Untouched by mass tourism, its immensely varied landscapes, with the older villages literally hidden inland and underground, are highly rewarding.
This is a chapter from Blue Guide Greece the Aegean Islands: what to see, where to stay and eat, history, archaeology, art, culture, leisure. With superb, award-winning maps. Written and edited by a team of three experts: historian, art historian and archaeologist, two of whom lead cultural tours in Greece. "Blue Guides still hold the cultural high ground" Sunday Times.
