Join us in Leros, Greece, June 9–12, 2027, for the 5th International MLMI Symposium.
Organized by MLMI in collaboration with Kaiti Iliadou, Welcome Exclusive Travel Services
Following the 5th MLMI Symposium, we are pleased to invite the Symposium participants to a special Satellite Scientific Experience in Ikaria, a region internationally recognized for exceptional longevity.
This unique scientific and cultural program will explore the relationship between lifestyle, nutrition, physical activity, social connectedness, environment, and healthy aging in the setting where traditional Ikarian practices are lived.
on a first-come, first-served basis
Through expert discussions, field experiences, and interaction with the local community, we will explore:
The program will combine short scientific sessions with experiential activities, including guided hikes, visits to traditional villages, exploration of local food practices, a traditional cooking experience, wine tasting, cultural and historical visits, and opportunities to experience the natural environment.
Rather than viewing Ikaria as having a single “secret” to longevity, the Symposium will provide an opportunity to consider how multiple lifestyle and environmental factors may interact to support healthy aging, and how these factors can be investigated scientifically.
To maintain an intimate setting for scientific exchange and interaction with the local community, participation is limited to 15 people, on a first-come, first-served basis.
Join us for an inspiring extension of the MLMI Symposium, where science, nature, culture, and healthy living meet in Ikaria.
We look forward to welcoming you!
