The experience

The tour starts with pickup from your hotel, then heads inland on a mix of paved and off-road routes toward Mount Dikaios. The drive takes about an hour, climbing toward the mountain viewpoint through terrain most visitors never see. A 30-minute off-road section gets you there, followed by a photo stop to frame the first views across the island before the light changes.

From there, the route moves to a second viewpoint timed for sunset. You'll spend roughly 10 minutes at Mount Dikaios View Point 2 as the sun drops, catching the light shift from gold to crimson against the mountain backdrop. After the sunset fades, a 20-minute drive takes you down to Zia village, a small settlement perched on the slopes where the evening crowd is thin. Dinner lasts about an hour: traditional Greek platters served meze-style, one glass of wine included, and the chance to sit quietly as the last light leaves the sky. The return drive to your hotel takes another 20 minutes or so.

The vehicle is a 7-seater 4x4, shared with up to five other passengers, and driven by a multilingual escort who speaks English and German. Liability insurance and local taxes are built into the price. A minimum of four passengers is needed for the tour to run.

Top questions

What languages is the guide in?

Live guide in English and German.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What's the difference between the two Mount Dikaios stops on this tour?

The first stop, about 30 minutes off-road from pickup, is a photo break at the mountain viewpoint itself. The second stop, 20 minutes later, is at Mount Dikaios View Point 2, timed to catch the sunset as it happens. Both offer panoramic views across Kos, but the second one is the main sunset moment.

How much of this tour is actually off-road driving versus regular roads?

The off-road section is roughly 30 minutes of the total journey, covering the rugged terrain up to the first viewpoint on Mount Dikaios. The rest of the route uses paved roads: the drive to the mountain, the connection between viewpoints, and the descent to Zia village.

What exactly is included in the dinner at Zia village?

Dinner includes traditional Greek platters served meze-style (small shared dishes) and one glass of wine per person. The meal lasts about an hour in the village, allowing time to eat and watch the evening settle over the island.

Can I book this tour if I'm visiting Kos for just one afternoon?

Yes. The tour runs for about 4 hours total, including pickup and drop-off, so it fits into a free afternoon or early evening. Pickup happens from your hotel, and you return there after dinner.
