5th January, 2024. So this place caught my attention, me interested in LONGEVITY. Even to relocate to.
It is do-able to visit it from where I live in Southern Turkey, by road and ferries. For me by (commercial) plane-services: absolutely hopeless. It would be quicker (from here) to fly: Dalaman-Istanbul-NYC/USA.
Note: these days: I only travel when I have to, no longer keen on holidaying either.
Which comes *with age*, I am sure.
AND!! because I have been *everywhere* (visited over 85 countries, before I turned 50, and then moved to Southern Turkey.
So: visiting IKARIA, for me: would NOT be a holiday, but a *scouting* trip, no longer than max 1 week (incl.the travelling), to SEE whether I like it, can find an affordable *long-term rental* + where PETS are allowed.
Okay… it is a plan: on my TO DO LIST – 2024!!!
Probably early summer, and THAT: because in this part of the world: PUBLIC travelling & connections are better, more frequent, ie: wintertime, the off-season NO TOURISTS months: people go in (unnatural) long-sleep mode: November-April.
!!!!Ghastly if you are NOT like that, living in such a touristic area!!!!
Bottomline: if I had my own plane or chopper: it would only be a hop from my home to Ikaria. Tack tack, now, get it done and on to the next moves.
And that actually is the most irritating issue!!! 🤣🤑 (not rich enough to have that comfortable luxury to quickly go somewhere, and dependent on public services with summer/winter schedules) and living in such a touristic area👹😡.
Anyway: the plan is there.
And: I am *rich enough* to be able to afford the trip: paying in CASH €€€’s, or by debit/credit cards, (with plenty of breathing space).
I am also fit, healthy, experienced enough to travel, to deal with whatever, and make my own judgments/decisions. 🥰🤗🤑
