Experience lives up to recommendations - We live here oon Ikaria and have recommended the 'cooking school and wine tasting tours' to many of our family/friends that come to visit us... All of them come back with glowing things to say. I can vouch for the hospitalit and great personalities of the host and hostesst Eleni and Georgo

In the mountains of Ikaria lies a perfect gem - This tour was arranged for us by the lovely Sofia at Thea's Restaraunt in Nas. Due to Covid, the owners of Karimalis limited the number of guests at the tasting and tour. George and his wife and family are very gracious and personable and the tasting and tour of their vineyard and accommodations were the perfect end to our stay in Icaria. I purchased 2 bottles and brought one back to California. I highly recommend!

Scam - The place is very beautiful and Elini's meals delicious but the service is a scam. Yourgos is much more of a businessman and a guru than he seems.
