Charming Zia in the southernmost slope, whose superb location makes it the perfect spot for viewing spectacular sunsets and gazing at the nearby islands of Kalymnos and Pserimos as well as the Turkish coast in the distance. During the summer the settlement of Zia is bursting with activity from the countless visitors who come to taste local delicacies served in charming traditional taverns, to purchase unique local products and souvenirs and to stroll through the cobblestone alleyways all the way up to its crystal-clear fresh water springs, the most well-known of which is Kefalovrisi.

Zia is a beautiful little town with lovely shops and lovely eateries. The local people were very welcoming. The sunset was beautiful. Definitely recommend for an evening trip.
This trip takes you to Zia to see the village and stays late enough to see the sunset. There are beautiful tavernas to eat and admire the wonderful views. It’s a busy village but wonder further to find quieter places.
You can see immediately that you have been ***** in a tourist trap. Here is one store after another that sells bra to tourists or it is a restaurant in a restaurant. Yes you can surely get a great view of the sunset from one of the many bars or restaurants, if you are lucky to get a table in the first row. But you can also go to, for example, Mastichari or elsewhere on the north coast of Kos. Here you can sit in the sand and enjoy the sunset without feeling like a herring in a barrel.
Nice experience but not stunning. The place is full of little shops and there are many restaurants at slightly higher prices than usual.
Hotel pick up was on time ,zai was a lovely places to visit ,sunset was spectacular,lots of nice restaurants too eat in ,would recommend people to visit
Nice sunset. Find a restaurant with views where you get the best photos. There are a lot of people there where you get the best look. The tour is only driving to and from the city.
It was a great experience, everything was good.
If you book this trip with viatour make sure you contact them for the exact time of your pick up as it differs from what is advertised picked up in a brand new black transit van the driver was the most miserable man never spoke at all until we got to zia then when he did speak make sure uour back for 845pm he could have told the people on board that you need to book a table at a restaurant if uou wished to eat nothing whatsoever silent going back to kos town put it this way I won't be using via your again
Booked with this company which was easy. Informed about pick up time and location which was close to the hotel. Driver arrived on time, who was very friendly. Only 10 people in total on a lovely air conditioned bus. The price of the tour was excellent £38 for 2 adults. Arrived in Zia village which was beautiful. Lovely little shops selling local produce and hand made gifts. Lovely restaurants also. We ate at Olympia2 which had been recommended to us. A lovely restaurant with roof top terrace. Staff very friendly and helpful. Prices are good and portion sizes large. Food was lovely. I had beetroot starter with garlic dip and pitta, partner had garlic mushrooms. For main, I had pork chop which was huge and partner had chicken fillet which was also big. A litre of wine and the total cost was €70. To end the evening we saw the most amazing sunset. We met with a lovely Dutch couple who was sat on the next table. Thank you for an excellent trip. Highly recommend
It was great, I would recommend it. The driver was very nice and was punctual. Very careful.
