Ikaria's ancient history is wonderfully showcased in the new Archaeological Museum in Agios Kyrikos and the Archaeological Collection in Kampos. Visit at least one, and try to get to both, to better understand Ikaria's veneration of Dionysus and the grape vine, its early trade routes that extended to Asian Minor and beyond, and rituals, settlements and styles that cultivated Ikaria's special flair.
When visiting Ikaria, bring your old copies of Homer’s Odyssey and Iliad and re-read the passages below. Homer used natural elements of the islands and seas as metaphors to drive forward plot points and portray the minds of men.
