Nice small village Zia with a beautiful sunset. The transfer was very good in luxury small van and perfect on time.
Very safe and reliable transport to Zia and back. He picked us up near our hotel early! And was there 5 minutes before pickup ready. We had two guys that didn't turn up when they should have so we left them after 10 minutes of waiting. If I want to sit in a taverna and look at the sunset in there, make sure to make a reservation ahead of time as most spots with the views are booked up. Otherwise, it was a stunning village that Is a must see!!
Had a great experience. Nice communication.
Everything worked out well! Were picked up on time in front of the hotel! The ride was very pleasant in a minibus for 20 people!
Beautiful sunset and if you like shops everything is top. Do book a dinner at Olympia2...top
The actual trip to Zia, the village, the place where we ate and watched the sunset (East Blue - highly recommend ) and the sunset itself was well worth the eventual upset after our driver left early leaving us stranded half way up the mountain ! Thankfully the restaurant phoned us a taxi and we were able to get back to our hotel. I had to prove we were at the pickup point before the pickup time before I got a refund. Be warned, the drivers always leave early, we had two other trips on Kos and the drivers both left early. Get there 10 minutes before pickup time is my advice !!
Very nice experience but paid for four hours and we could only stay for three hours 😰 So, barely after the sun set, we had to take the minibus back. Too bad
A must have trip, best sunset we've seen any where in the world. Picked up on the dot, dropped in zia and taken home on time. We ate at Olympia (superb) then walked up a quiet road to the old water mill and had a lovely banana split, drinks and the best view.
If you are in Kos, I highly recommend visiting Zia! 💙 It is a destination that really is worth seeing. Enjoy a wonderful meal, walk the picturesque alleys, discover the beautiful traditional shops and let the enchanting atmosphere travel. And when the sunset time comes... just sit down and enjoy the view. The colors of the sky and the panoramic image of Kos create a breathtaking spectacle. I highly recommend it! It is a unique experience that is worth living every visitor and will definitely stay unforgettable. ❤️ With love Katarina Georgou❤️❤️❤️
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.
