The highest mountain village on the island, nestles into the wooded slopes of Mount Dikeos. The views across the coast of Kos and the neighbouring islands are spectacular! It's tasteful little craft shops selling local produce including honey, lace, pottery, herbs and spices make it an ideal place to visit for some souvenirs not to mention a great place to choose a taverna on at least one occasion during your holiday to dine in one of it many typical Greek tavernas, where the locals go themselves for a meze meal. It is from Zia that one can climb to the peak of Mount Dikeos if you are keen to do that it's a 2 hours hike up to the top.
