The Ikarian W**e Club is an w**e-tourism center set up by George Karimalis and his wife Eleni when they returned to their native home to dedicate themselves to environmental work on their own land. We have a w**ery, Karimalis W**ery, and our organic vineyard where we continue a tradition of thousands of years of w**e production.The centre also offers rural accommodation of real character in two stone houses where couples, families, or small groups of guests can stay any time in the year. They have been recently sympathetically restored using natural stone materials. They were the original family homes built between 120 and 500 years ago. There is also a traditional farmhouse restaurant where we cook and offer to our guests and visitors dishes of the island, using mainly organic products, some of them originating from our farm. We also offer our quests cooking courses and w**e tasting courses. Our place is ideal for walking and trekking as it is in the middle of a pine and oak tree forest, when at the same time it is close to many beautiful beaches. the accommodation
