Ikaria GPS & Dirt Roads: What Google Maps Won't Tell You

Google Maps is useful in Ikaria, but a route drawn on the screen is not confirmation that every stretch is paved or suitable for your rental car. When a proposed shortcut crosses the mountain, pause and check it before setting off. We are not asking you to abandon navigation. We are asking you to use it alongside signs, road conditions and local advice. Thodoris can explain a sensible paved route at pickup and mark the places worth checking. A little preparation makes the difference between a relaxed journey and following an unfamiliar line somewhere you never intended to go.
