Begin your adventure with an optional hotel pick-up before arriving at the Chapel of Agia Marina, where your hike to Mount Zas begins. Follow the ancient trail with a local Certified Mountain Guide and reach the highest peak of the Cyclades, the mountain where, according to Greek mythology, Zeus was raised. At the summit, enjoy a traditional Naxian mountain breakfast featuring local cheeses, herbal tea made from wild mountain herbs, and a selection of seasonal local products. Throughout the hike, discover Mount Zas through the eyes of a local guide. Learn about the mountain's fascinating geology, identify native plants and wild herbs, and discover how they have traditionally been harvested and used on Naxos for generations. Along the way, you'll also hear the myths and stories that have shaped this sacred landscape for thousands of years. The cliffs of Mount Zas are also home to the magnificent Griffon Vulture. The chances of spotting them soaring above the cliffs are extremely high, with wingspans reaching up to 2.8 meters (9.2 ft).
