Thanks to its remote placement six hours by ferry from Athens, the island of Ikaria has all the beauty of the
Aegean Islands, without the crowds. Perhaps it's the fresh air, crystal waters, and abundant food, but Ikarians mysteriously live long (and full) lives. They are four times more likely to pass their 90th birthdays than Americans, despite eating heaps of fried fish and rich dips, not to mention smoking and drinking wine by the carafe-load.
Check into the six-level Cavos Bay Hotel, where every pared-down room overlooks the sea. Don't bother bringing a watch; nothing happens "on time" here. So go for a leisurely swim at Seychelles Beach and stroll along the ancient stone walls that date back to the 5th century B.C.
