i am kind of surprised that this was posted here lol

I come from this island and i live there still a part of my life and probably is the only place I can call home. Lately even more as we are building a cultural center there as the island lacks one.

Its a very special place in many ways. The article is a bit an urban legend and the locals arent really fond of it and such reports as we dont really like turists there lol

Truth is that indeed lots of the older people get to go very old(have several in my family over 100 years), but this is more due to a way of life and eating that is now gone...

Some elements remain but my generation of Ikarians for example will not live so much for sure haha.
