    Highlights

    • Explore the highest peak in the Cyclades with a knowledgeable guide, learning about Zeus and Naxos' history
    • Select from three hiking routes offering panoramic views and a memorable adventure in Naxos

    Description

    Explore the highest mountain of the Cyclades, mountain Zeus, with one of the most experienced hiking guides in Naxos. Originally from Naxos, he is an expert English-speaking mountain guide.

    Starting from Agia Marina or Filoti village (depending on your option), you will discover parts of the island that most visitors don't have the opportunity to explore. You will learn the history of the ancient God of Gods, Zeus (locally "Zas") from your local, very knowledgeable personal mountain guide.

    The trail, the impression that you really have to walk in the high mountains, and the wonderful panoramic views, make this hike a great experience.

    You have 3 options for this route:

    1. Start the hike from Agia Marina, a small church on the way to Filoti village. This is a 5.6 kilometres route at a relaxed pace.

    2. The second option is to start from the cool and refreshing Aria spring and return from Agia Marina. This is a 6 kilometres route, a bit difficult.

    3. With the third option, you will start from Filoti village and return to Filoti. This is a 10 kilometres route, a bit difficult. You will also visit the Aria spring.

    The tour guide will recommend different spots where you can have a traditional Greek meal. Note that, lunch is not included in the price of your tour.

    Take your time to take pictures, wear comfortable shoes and clothes and have plenty of water with you. You will finish your tour feeling exhilarated and full of wonder at the tumultuous history and natural majesty of the island.

    We can also organize a minibus transfer from Naxos town or your hotel. Of course, you can make your own way to Filoti village by car or the public bus.

    Great hiking experience with George

    August 31, 2023

    We hiked up mountain Zas as part of the Wednesday group tour with George. I couldn’t recommend it enough as George was very patient, knowledgeable, and gave us a great tour of the mountain, answering all of our questions about the area! Definitely the highlight of my trip to Naxos. Additionally, Anna who answered all of my queries about the trip via email was really responsive and helpful:)
