Ikarian

 

Icaria, also spelled Ikaria (Greek: Ικαρία), locally Nikaria or Nicaria (Νικαριά), ancient name: Doliche (Δολίχη), is a Greek island 10 nautical miles (19 km) southwest of Samos. It derived its name from Icarus, the son of Daedalus in Greek mythology, who fell into the sea nearby.



Icaria has been inhabited since at least 7000 B.C. when it was populated by the Neolithic pre-Hellenic people that Greeks called Pelasgians.
