Hike the trail to the Zeus Cave (Zas Cave) on Naxos's highest mountain, the mythological birthplace of Zeus, with sweeping views over the Cyclades.
What to expect
Starting near Filoti, you'll climb through pine and oak forest on a marked but quiet trail, reaching the cave mouth where stalactites and an ancient altar mark the mythic birthplace of Zeus. Guides share the archaeology and legend at the entrance and viewpoint. The descent offers panoramic views over the Cyclades.
Good to know
Wear proper hiking shoes; moderate fitness required; start early to avoid midday heat and allow time back to port.
