• Zas Cave, Mount Zas Trail

It’s a climb to the summit of the highest pick in the Cyclades for an unforgettable panoramic view of the surrounding islands. On the way visit the cave of Zas where Zeus was raised as a child, and enjoy its beautiful Stalactites.
There are two routes to the mountain summit.
An easy 7 km roundtrip route from Aghia Marina Church southeast of Filoti.
A shorter but much more difficult 5 km roundtrip hike starting at Aria Spring northwest of the summit, and continues past the Cave of Zeus before ending at the summit.
The routes are 2-3 hours hike which if timed with the sunset, are overwhelming.
