Active Travel & Longevity in Ikaria

Longevity in Ikaria

 

There’s a small island in the Eastern Aegean where people outlive almost everyone else on the planet, and I’ll be returning there this June.

Want to join me and learn the secrets of longevity in Ikaria?

Ikaria is one of the Greek islands, a traditional place that hasn’t been spoiled by mass tourism. Named after Icarus, who flew too close to the sun on wings made of wax and feathers, it’s an official Blue Zone.

In fact, there are more healthy people over the age of 90 there than anyplace else on earth!

Announcing the 2016 Active Travel & Longevity Retreat

Our adventure will begin and end in Athens, between June 17th and 26th.

  • Train naturally.
  • Explore age-old traditions.
  • Discover ancient health secrets.
