There’s a small island in the Eastern Aegean where people outlive almost everyone else on the planet, and I’ll be returning there this June.
Want to join me and learn the secrets of longevity in Ikaria?
Ikaria is one of the Greek islands, a traditional place that hasn’t been spoiled by mass tourism. Named after Icarus, who flew too close to the sun on wings made of wax and feathers, it’s an official Blue Zone.
In fact, there are more healthy people over the age of 90 there than anyplace else on earth!
