Food & Culture Experience
Live the rhythm — don’t follow a program.
If you’re looking for a travel experience that goes deeper than sightseeing, this is it. For 5 days, you’ll step directly into the everyday life of Ikaria — one of the world’s Blue Zones — and experience food, culture, and community from the inside.
This is not a retreat.
It’s not a wellness itinerary.
It’s a rare chance to be welcomed into a way of life.
01
Experience Village Life
Spend time in homes and villages where connection, humor, rest, and belonging shape the rhythm of each day.
You’ll learn simply by being part of it.
02
Cook in Local Homes
Prepare meals in real Ikarian kitchens, using seasonal ingredients and learning recipes that have nourished generations.
These aren’t cooking classes — they’re shared meals, shared stories, and shared moments.
03
Explore Meaningful Places
Walk through landscapes, visit cultural sites, and discover the island’s history and traditions.
There’s no rigid schedule — days unfold naturally, just as they do for the people who live here.
04
Live the Culture That Creates Longevity
Ikaria is known for vitality and long life, but here, health isn’t a goal —
it’s a byproduct of how people live.
You won’t “do” wellness.
You’ll live well by living like an Ikarian.

“If you’re looking for massages, special treatments, and programmed happiness, then this isn’t the kind of journey you’re looking for. But if you’re seeking an authentic Ikaria Blue Zone experience (cooking, hiking, swimming, exploring, and socializing) with Thea, her family, and friends, you’re in for a wonderful time! We will never forget some of the moments we were blessed to experience.”
