Great experience, nice small group
Just went there last week and our guide is friendly and gave us a lot of useful info about the history, local herbs and made the climb a lot easier. Also thank god for those walking sticks otherwise it would have been super arduous for my knees.
via Tripadvisor
10/10 views nonstop, 10/10 guide.
This guided hike was so much fun! We had Hector, and he was fantastic. Knowledgeable, funny, friendly, and local. He had great stories and great answers to all our questions, and he led us safely on the best hike on the island! Incredible views the whole time as there are hardly any trees and you are on the side of the mountain the whole time.

Must do!
This is a must do on Naxos!!! The hike and views were absolutely amazing! What a great way to see the country… Our guide Nectarios was wonderful, he hiked at a great pace and gave us wonderful information about the country. He also provided the best local food for our lunch at the end.

Naxos: Mt Zas Summit Hiking Tour with Picnic Lunch and Transfers: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Naxos.
How much does Naxos: Mt Zas Summit Hiking Tour with Picnic Lunch and Transfers cost?
+
Prices start at $97 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Naxos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Naxos: Mt Zas Summit Hiking Tour with Picnic Lunch and Transfers take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Naxos is not rushed.
Is Naxos: Mt Zas Summit Hiking Tour with Picnic Lunch and Transfers worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 102 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Naxos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Naxos: Mt Zas Summit Hiking Tour with Picnic Lunch and Transfers?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Naxos: Mt Zas Summit Hiking Tour with Picnic Lunch and Transfers suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Naxos: Mt Zas Summit Hiking Tour with Picnic Lunch and Transfers?
+
Around 36 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Naxos can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Naxos and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Naxos: Mt Zas Summit Hiking Tour with Picnic Lunch and Transfers start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Naxos within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Naxos?
+
On Outty we rank every Naxos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Naxos:Half-day cooking class at Basiliko Farm, Naxos Perivoli Farm Experience & Wood-fire Cooking Class, Naxos Kayak Tour to Rina Cave with Snorkeling and Homemade lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Naxos?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Naxos?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Naxos: Mt Zas Summit Hiking Tour with Picnic Lunch and Transfers?
