IKARIA HOTELS & ACCOMMODATION
Ikaria is a Greek island 19 km south-west of Samos. It derived its name from Ikarus, the son of Daedalus in Greek mythology, who fell into the sea nearby. Ikaria has been inhabited since at least 7000 B.C. when it was inhabited by the Neolithic pre-hellenic people that Greeks called Pelasgians.
Landmarks include the ancient temple of Artemis at Nas, the statue of Ikarus at Agios Kyrikos, and a number of beautifully constructed ancient churches.

Images of Ikaria
NAMES OF IKARIA:
Ikaria, a mountainous, thickly forested island, perpetuates the myth of Ikarus and his fall into the sea near its shores after his bold attempt to reach the sun with his waxen wings.
In antiquity the island was called Makri (Long) and Aeoliki because of its rectangular shape, and Ichthyoessa because of its abundant fish.
