Ikaria on the sightseeing of the trip is a huge precipitous slab of rock wedged into the sea to the west of Samos. The mythological origin of the name is derived from the legend of Daedalus and Icarus who contrived to escape from Crete by fabricating wings from feathers and wax. Icarus flew too high and land the sun melted the wax so that he fell into the sea near Ikaria. The island doesn't get a lot of tourism and is generally quiet with friendly locals and some very good fishing.
Samos another beautiful place that is going to be visied is the closest of the Greek islands to Turkey - lust a mile across. Thick pine forests cover most of the lower slopes and villages perch precariously on small plateaus. There is a grandeur and grace to Samos unequalled elsewhere. In ancient times Samos was known as Parthenoarroussa for its beauty, Dryoussa for its oaks, Anthemis for its flowers and Hydrele for its abundant springs. Although an island ravaged and pillaged by corsairs in years gone by it is neither run down nor poor in spirit. On the contrary, the island leaves you with a feeling of happiness and friendliness. The muscat wine is superb.
