Start journey from Evdilos square with scenic island exploration
Hike through ancient Randi Forest with peaceful natural trails
Walk under tall trees, herbs, streams, and shaded forest paths
Ikaria Experience Combines Ancient Forest Trails, Hidden Beaches, and Local Cuisine
A full-day guided adventure in Ikaria is offering travelers a diverse journey through forest landscapes, coastal scenery, and traditional village life. Beginning in Evdilos square, the experience blends hiking, boating, and cultural immersion into a single route that highlights the island’s natural and cultural richness.
The first stage leads toward Agios Dimitrios, where hikers enter the centuries-old Randi Forest. Walking beneath towering trees surrounded by pine and wild herbs, visitors move through a landscape defined by quiet streams, shaded paths, and natural clearings that reflect the untouched character of Ikaria’s inland wilderness.
The journey then shifts from forest to sea as travelers depart from Magganitis by small boat toward Seychelles Beach. Known for its striking turquoise waters and dramatic rock formations, the area offers opportunities for snorkeling and exploration of sea caves, revealing a vibrant marine environment set against a rugged coastal backdrop.
After time in the water, the experience continues in a traditional village such as Magganitis or Akamatra, where a locally prepared lunch showcases Ikarian cuisine made with fresh regional ingredients. The day concludes with a return to Evdilos, bringing together forest, sea, and village life in a balanced itinerary that reflects the island’s natural beauty and enduring cultural traditions.

Customer Reviews
Booking online is always a bit of a gamble, but the Forest Lodge is exactly as promised. All the photos are legit and it is indeed a very cozy guest house a bit away from all the noise, except for the many animal sounds from the surrounding beautiful forest. What we valued most while staying there for 12 nights was first of all the outstanding kindness and helpfulness of the manager and his staff. We were even lucky enough to have been offered a dinner, which was absolutely fantastic. As mentioned, we were very happy with the ambient and the abundance of space in the room/studio. Siting on the balcony and drinking your favorite morning/evening drink while watching birds and fruit bats flying all around is as good as it gets. We were surprised how well the staff maintain clean and tidy rooms as well as the surroundings of the house. We were also a big fan of the in-house drinks fridge, which is self-service. The only thing that could see some improvement in my opinion is the kitchenette. It is useful, but very basic. The stove is painfully slow. A gas stove or induction plate would be a superb upgrade. For some people, it should be noted, that there is quite a walk to the beach. There is a small local beach, but it is not as nice as the main one in Beau Vallon and it is not extremely close either. That said, we had no problem walking every day and using the bus. There is plenty of bus stops all around and it is a good way to explore the island. From the lodge to the main road is about 8-10 minutes walk, and a further 1 minute to the bus stop and another 2 minutes to the closest shop. The local beach is around 10-15 minutes walking and the main beach is around 30-40 minutes walking. If this is a problem for you, rent a car. There is free parking at the lodge.
Affordable price, excellent location, beautiful surrounding atmosphere, ravishing flowers. Most friendly and helpful receptionist and staff ever, lovely and great first impression of Guest House. Everything about the Guest House was exceptional. It was clean, stylish, roomy. Room itself was well equipped, cozy with a huge balcony. We had chance to taste some food that was cooked by the owner Stephen. All the dishes were yummy, charming and hihgly pleasant to the taste. We were very pleased with our stay. We hope to be back for a longer visit in the future. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality, comfy room and delicious dinner! Kind regards, Tamas Boglarka
If you are looking for a decent accommodation at a comparatively low price , Forest lodge is a good option. Pros: -The owner and staff are really friendly. -Pricing -Have basic cookware & cutlery for cooking - Grocery in 10 min walkable range -Free car parking Cons: -Furniture looked a bit old - Smelly bathroom - its quite an uphill walk to Forest lodge, if you have a car, better
