Monopati Eco Villas take their name from the mountain path that winds down towards the sea just in front of them. Paths in Ikaria form an integral part of the island's history, forming the old transport network before cars arrived: they were the way you and your family moved from village to your fields, olive groves, school, harbour - to everywhere on the island. Indeed, Ikarians would easily walk hours every day in the course of their daily needs, and this, perhaps, is the secret of their famed longevity!
