Ikaria is of special interest to nature loving walkers and hikers of all ages and abilities. For thousands of years people have been traversing the many mountain paths of Ikaria. In former times these paths or "monopatia", made up a transportation web that connected Ikaria's far-flung villages and the people's farming and commercial activities.
Today, through a combination of continued use and local preservation efforts, many paths are still in operation and able to be enjoyed by visiting walkers/ hikers.
