Oromedon Tavern

Highlight • Restaurant

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!

Zia Market

Highlight • Settlement

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 cobblestone 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.

Church of the Assumption (Kimissis), Zia

Highlight • Religious Site

Kimissis Church. Built in its present form in 1919.
Above the north door there is a founding inscription naming Geórgios Katimetzóglou as the painter of the frescoes. It was painted in 1992-95 in traditional Byzantine style.

The sanctuary (Holy of Holies) is optically separated from the congregational space by a dividing wall covered with pictures, the iconostasis. This separation can be understood as a recourse to pre-Christian Greek tradition; the most important part of ancient Greek and ancient Roman temples was the cella, to which only priests had access.
