King's throne// Loop trail on the mountain where Zeus grew up!!(Private hiking adventure)
Ce que vous allez faire
Mount Zeus or Zas as locals like to say, is the most iconic and the highest mountain on Naxos and all the Cycladic islands (1004m/3294ft). People named the mountain after the king of the Olympian gods, who according to the greek mythology, was raised exactly there! On the way to the top, hikers can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Aegean Sea and the neighboring islands. On a clear day the view can reach till the coastline of Turkey and Santorini! Moreover the slopes of this mountain are rich in flora and fauna, which is why it is a frequent place for botanists and birdwatchers that have a great chance to observe the famous and protected vultures of Naxos flying around Mt.Zas.
The certified guide will pick you up from your accommodation and this full day adventure begins with a 20′-30′ drive (from Naxos town) through the stunning naxian countryside! The hike begins and ends at the largest village of Naxos, Filoti. It is a loop trail that can be hiked in two ways! It is an easy/moderate difficulty hiking trail, almost 5km/3.1 miles to the top and
elevation gain of 605m/1985ft. On the peak of Zeus we’ll get the chance to enjoy a breathtaking 360° view and a delicious snack ! On the way down (another 5km/3.1 miles) and on the western side of mount Zeus , we’ll also get the chance to visit the deep cave of Zeus. A place that exhibits unique geological interest with imposing stalactites and stalagmites and of course the local species of microbats!
Back to Filoti and to the van!
***An easier and shorter out-and-back trail option is also available! Agia Marina-Mt. Zeus-Agia Marina
6km/3.7miles, elevation gain 390m/1280ft
