#TESTEDTOUGH: ΙKARIA
Crossing the rocky mountains of the Aegean in Ikaria

At the sound of the word "Ikaria", the mind travels to hot summers and people who do not stop cooling off on its beaches.
But what if you decide to visit this island in winter?
Then you will need a warm jacket, because you will have the opportunity to discover its seductive mountain landscape, with the rocky areas that challenge you to cross them.
So tie your boots and go up the slopes that offer a privileged view of the coast of Ikaria, to meet a place that most were not lucky enough to know it existed.
Do not hesitate to visit Plagia, Xylosyrtis, Pezi, Halari's gorge and Prophitis Elias. The mountainous profile of Ikaria is an untouched place. The winter side of a stereotypically summer coin.
Thus, a challenge for every traveler.
For those of us who test our endurance in nature, the rocky surface of the peaks and mountains and hills of the island, form a unique route and yet another destination, where we can confirm that we are #TestedTough.
