7 days hiking & olive picking in Ikaria

7 days of hiking in the mountains of Ikaria. Combine Greek language lessons with hiking tours or a simple stay at the Center’s guesthouse and participate in our hiking tours in the mountains of the area. The location of the Center, outside the settlements, on a hillside not far from the sea and in direct contact with the natural environment is ideal for short or longer hiking excursions. On the autumn hikes you will also have the opportunity to participate in olive picking

Accommodation

Accommodation is at the Center guesthouse, just outside the settlement of Arethousa, in Ikaria. The place is ideal for hiking as it is located approximately in the center of the island, in the middle of nature. From the guesthouse you can enjoy a fantastic view of the mountain and the sea, the colors of the sky, some sunsets with the sun setting into the sea that will remain unforgettable, the sunrise and the moon from the top of the mountain above the guesthouse and the galaxy with thousands of stars in the sky on starry nights. You can also see birds of prey flying above your head while you are taking lessons. Each student has his own room.
