What is the purpose of visiting the 'Blue Zone'  Ikaria Island, if you do not take the chance to have the “Ikarian 5-Day Detox” activity?

Make your trip to Ikaria a trip that changed your life for good, and also something always to remember!
Ikaria belongs to the Blue Zones areas; these are areas where people have the highest longevity.
The absence of stress, combined with a daily balanced diet (having a lot of bio food and drinks), and daily activities (working in the fields, walking, exercising) are the major factors that made these people rich in the late age of 90s.

In the fertile land of Ikaria grows a lot of herbs during all seasons, because of its special territories and grounds.
Herbs with antioxidant, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory properties, for treating respiratory issues, cardiovascular diseases, headaches, skin problems, etc.
Also, herbs with antidepressant properties can be found all over the island.
