Trip 44 — Ikaria Walk

20 April to 3 May 2025

An eastern island of Greece, Ikaria is the 24th of the 26 Abecedarian Walks, my endeavor to walk around islands whose names begin with each of the letters of the alphabet.

Each "day" below corresponds to a walking day. Occasionally I took a day off from walking, and experiences from those days are incorporated into the previous or the following walking day's account.

In addition to these verbal accounts are musings, photos, and videos on Instagram, Bluesky, and Twitter.
