Greek Village in Longevity Blue Zone | Faros, Ikaria

Ikaria Greece is a longevity zone, known as a blue zone. It is also written as Icaria, based on the myth of Icarus, son of the inventor Daedalus. Icarus died as he flew to close the Sun with his waxen wings.

The Ikaria Greece life expectancy often reaches 100 years old, and has been this way for over 400 years.
