Ikaria is an island in the east Aegean Sea. It derives its name from Icarus, the son of Daedalus who, according to Greek mythology, fell into the sea nearby. Τoday, Icaria is considered one of the world's five “Blue Zones” – places where the population regularly lives to an advanced age (one in three make it to their 90s). This is due to healthy diets and lifestyle.
