Charming Zia in the southernmost slope, whose superb location makes it the perfect spot for viewing spectacular sunsets and gazing at the nearby islands of Kalymnos and Pserimos as well as the Turkish coast in the distance.
During the summer the settlement of Zia is bursting with activity from the countless visitors who come to taste local delicacies served in charming traditional taverns, to purchase unique local products and souvenirs and to stroll through the cobblestone alleyways all the way up to its crystal-clear fresh water springs, the most well-known of which is Kefalovrisi.

Zia
This trip is designed to give you all the freedom you wish to discover Zia on your own terms. The minibus will pick you up from your hotel and bring you to its center. You will enjoy discovering the village by yourself, at your own pace, without a guide. Zia is an enchanting little village that lies at the base of Mount Dikeos, the highest mountain of Kos island, that culminates at 846m above sea level. The village has kept its traditional feel and has become one of the major tourist attractions of the island. Here you wiall find many little shops selling local products, arts and crafts. The atmosphere is very relaxed and you will enjoy to sip your drink or dine on a romantic terrace while admiring the most beautiful sunset on Kos. We recommend you to try the famous delicious homemade lemonade served everywhere. You will have approximately 2 and a half hours free time.

Lovely evening out and 3.5 hours in Zia just right amount of time to wander round shops and get a meal. Lots of places to eat but some with best sunset views get booked up

Poor. Ticket stated 5.30pm pick up, all the previous tours we've booked once you select your hotel it calculates your pick up time for checkout. Messaged me whilst I was out, no attempt to call or see we had been made aware, saying pickup at 16.40. called at 16.30 and told to be in reception immediately. Impossible with children and oaps. I said we would cancel for a refund, to which they agreed. They have sent back 30 euro out of 100. What are we paying you 70 euro for? It's a rip off, a private taxi to zia is 70 euro return for the same amount of people, or 12 euro per person (6 euro for kids) from ANY of the local tour operators. Don't waste your money on these con artists and pop into one of the local tour providers and get it for nearly half price.

Nice view over kos. Nice restaurants. Nice little village. Trip started an hour earlier, so we had to go back at 20:45 ( 10 min after sunset). Too bad not to be able to reminisce.
