Great memories - Great experience. Terrific value. Collected at hotel, driver on time and very friendly. Dropped right in the centre of Zia, enough time to reserve a great table to view the sunset. Wonderful photos, great memories Derek

Sunset in Zia - Zia is definitely worth a visit in the day and for sunset. Lovely shops and bars. The sunset is beautiful, we watched it at Sunset Balcony Taverna. We had a really friendly driver who dropped us off and picked us up, it is definitely worth pre booking transport.

Must visit in Kos - Amazing place! Zia is one of the best places in Kos to visit. Sunset is breathtaking and you can relax in local restaurants or just buy some souvenirs and local products. Prices are very good and it's cheaper than in Kos town. We rented a car to visit this place, if you come too late it might be a problem to find a parking space.

Lovely food and glorious sunset. - Zia is well worth the visit. The sunset was beautiful. There are a few restaurants to choose from, we ate in Olympia 1 and were invited over by the owner to watch the sunset from the rooftop of Olympia 2. The driver and minivan were excellent.

Excellent trip - Pick ups spot on time. No guide but pleasant driver. Found a nice little bar for a drink followed by an excellent meal at a restaurant overlooking the sunset. Mother nature wasn't kind to us, it was a misty evening giving a pleasant sunset rather than a spectacular one. Nevertheless an excellent excursion

Lovely trip - We were picked up from our hotel and driven up to Zia and told our pick up time as we were dropped off. We wandered around the shops, did some shopping of course lol. Then found a restaurant for a meal which was lovely. Unfortunately it was too hazy to see the sunset but would definitely recommend the trip as we have done it before and the sunset was amazing.
