Lagada was a secret shelter  of Ikarians during the hey-days of piracy. It is one of the

oldest  villages of Ikaria, well hidden among the forested slopes of the Western part of the

island Ikaria . Langada  existed from the beginning of Byzantine era and flourished after the

franks had left. There are very old anti – pirate houses, the old church, the ancient jail, and

the remnants of the government house of the “Free State of Ikaria” which remind us the

historical past of Langada.

Every year on the 15th of August there is a great traditional feast called a “panigiri” which

lasts from the morning until the next day.
