The
remains of ancient Roman baths can be seen at the site
of Ancient Therma which ceased to exist after a devastating
earthquake in 205 BC.
The baths can be reached via a footpath marked with green,
starting from the actual village of Therma.
On the site of the baths, the underwater remains of the
ancient city can be seen.
The cave on the path was used by the inhabitants of Ikaria
as a hiding spot during the pirate raids that used to
stroke the island.
Further along the path is a place where hot mineral water
flows into the sea, where it is possible to swim.

This Byzantine fortress was built during the 11th century
AD and is standing on the top of a mountain, overlooking
the village of Koskina, in the central part of Ikaria,
30 kilometres from Evdilos. The church of Saint George
Dorganas is located within the castle.
This fortress lies on the north-eastern tip of the island,
near the village of Faros. It is one of the best preserved
examples of Athenian military architecture. It was built
during the time of Alexander the Great, around the 4th
century BC and served as an observation point of the Aegean
sailing traffic of the channel between Ikaria and Samos.
This tower was damaged by Greek naval forces in 1827.
A dirt road starting from the village of Faros leads to
this fortress.
