Irakleia, Greece, the island of the 141 Inhabitants

Irakleia is a tiny island in Greece named by the famous ancient… super-hero Hercules! An unspoiled, hidden gem located on the eastern part of Cyclades Islands region (the most famous island of this region is, undoubtedly, Santorini ) , in between the bigger Naxos and Ios islands. Less than  150 people live in this small piece of land and , since the island is still undiscovered, the tourism industry is yet to be developed. Mainly Greeks spend their holiday here – lots of them are free campers as the island in fact is known for its tolerance for free camping which is illegal in Greece! Things to do in Irakleia island include, but not limited to , swimming, relaxing, walking, observing/ interacting with locals, eating… let’s see in detail!

The island has few sandy and pebbles beaches (Agios Georgios, Livadi Beach, Tourkopigado, Karvounolakos, Alimia, Vorini Spilia, Xilobatis, Tribounas etc.) suitable for swimming.  The port is also one of the most popular beaches of the island, just in the front of the Aghios Georgios village (=St George) ! Don’t be discouraged by the term ”port”- the water is crystal clear and many people (including local kids) swim here. St George has few taverns, cafes and bars where you can relax for hours and enjoy the view. Irakleia has only one more village called Panagia (=Virgin Maria) which is actually the ”Chora” of the island (=the central village of each island in Cyclades Region is called like that)! If you can bear the hot Greek sun and the uphill landscape you don’t need a car / motorbike or any other method of transportation apart from your feet and the local boats that can take you to the hidden beaches around!

MoU aimed at creation of 10 ‘smart islands’ | Kathimerini

The Regional Authority of the Southern Aegean, the Soft Energy Applications Laboratory, the Center for Technological Research in Piraeus and the University of West Attica on Thursday signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at the creation of a roadmap for the transformation of 10 remote Aegean islands into “smart islands” via state-of-the-art networking technology.

The plan provides for the upgrading of local infrastructure for energy autonomy and security, water resources management and electronic communication.

For now the project will concern the islands of Kastellorizo, Agathonisi, Halki, Leipsoi, Schoinousa, Donousa, Koufonisi, Irakleia, Anafi and Sikinos, with more to follow at a later stage.
