Thea's Restaurant & Rooms — Restaurant in Icaria Municipality

Thea’s inn and restaraunt has truly become my favorite place in the world. The location is stunning with views over the endless sea! Food is delicious. I would highly recommend any dish. They are all healthy, fresh and made from scratch with love. All the staff are kind and welcoming. It is a short walk from the nas beach, chelates canyon and so much natural beauty and culture! Thea and her husband ilia’s are the best hosts. They welcome everyone with open arms and have created a place the reflects their warm spirits, compassion and kindness. Thea’s feels like home to so many who come. The rooms are s8mple but have everything you need! They all have a balcony with outstanding views, comfortable beds, water heaters, and more. When you stay here you are getting so much more than a room. You become a part of a family and community. Thea and all the staff are happy to share advice, recommendations , stories, laughs, and wisdom. They have been featured in the Blue Zone books and shows. They truly live and represent this healthy, kind life’s style. I learn so much from Thea and all the Ikarians every time I go. The restaraunt is connected to the rooms and has the best food in all of Greece. Traditional Greek dishes as well as local specialties. Great drinks as well! There are always amazing guests and locals hanging out in the restaraunt who are happy To talk. Sunsets are truly incredible and breakfasts are chill and fantastic. I can’t...

Hands-on Greek cooking school with Thea, Athena, & YaYa on the mountain farms of Nas and Agio Dimitrois in Ikaria. The best things in Greece are fresh! ||Ikaria food, cooking, and people are just some of the most wonderful things about this romantic island. We think about "farm to table" in the U.S. In Ikaria, there is no other way. Everything is pesticide free, organic, healthy, and sensational. Tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, squash, ...etc. like you have never eaten before. Mix them with fresh mountain picked oregano, fennel, and mint and it's a gourmet meal. Freshly made goat cheese yogurt, with lemon, herbs, lots of garlic...you will never have tzatziki like this again. This was a crash course in getting back to basic health and wholeness- planting, harvesting, and cooking right from your backyard...Authentic Greek Style with Love and lots of lovely homemade wine. ||We made spinach & squash pie and stuffed tomatoes with YaYa and Eleni. Tzatziki, Greek Salad, sauteed pork medallions, with Thea and Athena. We remembered what real food tasted like; ate, drank, talked, and laughed for hours, and somehow lost 2 pounds by the time we came home. Rest assured, I/we...will be back next year. |Thank you,...
