August 2, 2026, Sunset Taverna

One of the 3 taverns with the best view of the sunset. Reservation for sunset is currently necessary or highly recommended. ATTENTION: The reservation requires a deposit of €10,- which is often forgotten on the final bill! ;-)

It is the top sunset spot. Therefore, most of the time booked out days (or weeks) in advance around sunset times.

Picturesque tavern in the mountain village of Zia. We can only report on the off-season - quiet (until the next package tourist bus arrives). Beautiful view over the north coast and very nice ambience. Food OK, but not a gourmet temple. Excellent place to enjoy the sunset, but many people will probably get that idea in the high season!

The picture-perfect village of Zia lies on the slopes of Mount Dikeos and is a popular destination for day trips and is therefore usually full of tourists. The place is known for its charming cobbled streets with traditional blue and white houses, taverns and craft shops. There are also several domed Orthodox churches. From various locations in the village, the view extends to the coast, the offshore islands and the Turkish mainland.
