From Antiquity to Revolution
Exploring Ikaria’s Archaeological, Historical and Geological Past
Join us for an immersive journey through the vibrant history and culture of Agios Kirikos, the capital of Ikaria!
We’ll begin with a visit to the Archaeological Museum, followed by a guided historical walking tour through the heart of the village. Dive into the fascinating story of the Ikarian revolution against the Ottoman Empire and the creation of the short-lived Independent State of Ikaria in the early 20th century.
Afterward, take a relaxing break with a delightful coffee and explore a local store featuring unique Ikarian products. The journey continues to the captivating Drakano Archaeological Site, where we’ll explore one of the best-preserved ancient watchtowers in Greece, dating back to the 4rd century BC!
