Mount Zeus Guided Hiking Adventure: Explore Naxos' Natural Wonders
Highlights
- Conquer Mount Zas and enjoy breathtaking panoramic views across Naxos and the Aegean Sea
- Hike through diverse terrain rich in native flora and spot majestic Naxian vultures in their natural habitat
- End your hike with a relaxing lunch in a traditional village tavern, away from the tourist crowds
Description
Embark on an unforgettable hike to the summit of Mount Zas (Zeus Peak), the highest point in the Cyclades at 1,004 m (3,293 ft). This rewarding adventure combines stunning landscapes, rich biodiversity and fascinating mythology.
Your experience begins with a comfortable pickup from your accommodation or a central meeting point. After a short scenic drive to Agia Marina, a small chapel nestled on the slopes of Mount Zas, you'll set off on your hiking trail.
The route winds through rugged terrain filled with aromatic wild herbs and offers sweeping views of Naxos and the Aegean Sea. The ascent is moderately challenging, ideal for active travelers and provides a perfect balance of effort and breathtaking scenery.
At the summit, you'll be rewarded with panoramic 360 degrees views and the chance to spot the impressive Naxian vultures gliding overhead, a highlight for bird watchers and nature lovers alike. After taking in the views, you'll descend along the same trail, seeing the landscape from a new perspective.
Your adventure concludes with a well-deserved stop at a traditional, non-touristy tavern, where you'll unwind and enjoy authentic Naxian flavors before returning.

Great hike and guide!
Great experience with a group of 6 on the shorter out and back loop! Our guide Marios was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the hike enjoyable with insights about the area's history and nature. The views from the summit were beautiful, and the hike was well-organized and safe. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Naxos!
