The Mountain Of God Zeus
What you'll do
Why did locals name a 1004m height mountain after the King of Gods? What are the stories written into the landscape, the remnants of former times? Witness the rock carved with the ancient inscription «ΟΡΟΣ ΔΙΟΣ ΜΗΛΩΣΙΟΥ» among the rocky landscape. After you catch your breath on your way uphill, you will breathe widely enjoying the view of Aegean Sea.
