The island was first inhabited around 3000 BC. It is famed for the production of olive oil, cheese and also for it’s ouzo, the preferred drink in Greece.

CHIOS

ICARIA

Icaria is famous for its therapeutic springs, but the landscape is dramatic to cure anyone! The mountain is covered in wild, almost primitive vegetation and as far as the eye can see before you, is the sea gleaming below under the blazing sun. This is the Icarian Sea into which mythical Icarus fell and drowned when the sun melted his wax wings.

FOURNOI

Fournoi is a quiet rest and not for the restless. No cars only fish-tavernas and fishermen to converse with in the evenings.
