Mount Zeus

At 1003m (reports vary from 1001 to 1004) Mount Zeus is the highest point on Naxos.

Fantastic panoramic views greet you from the top so it is a worthwhile climb.

There are 2 different starting points.

The first is the route marked on the road that takes you past Zeus cave. It is more difficult that the second route. I managed to get lost twice on this route.

The second route is easier, and better marked. It starts from Agia Maria chapel on the road to Danakas. (About 3 km further from the turn off for Zeus Cave and the first route).
