Mount Zas, the island’s highest point at 1,003 metres, is named after Zeus, the king of the Greek gods. The mountain carries strong mythological associations, with local tradition identifying nearby caves and springs as part of his legendary upbringing.
The most popular approach begins at Aria Spring (Mikri Vrisi) near Filoti. From here, the trail climbs steadily through terraced farmland, rocky slopes, and juniper-dotted terrain, passing the entrance to the Cave of Zeus (Zas Cave) along the way. This route is well-marked and moderately demanding, taking around 1.5–2.5 hours one way depending on pace, with a total return hike of roughly 5–6 km.
The wonderfully renovated tower, built circa 1600. Which now serves as a space for cultural activities. In 2018 it housed a modern art exhibition by Greek, Indonesian and American artists.

Temple of Demeter at Sangri
It's one of the earliest Ionic temples, built around 530 BC. It was built completely from Naxian marble and was probably dedicated to Demeter or Kore. In the 6th century AD, the temple was largely demolished and a three-naved Christian basilica was built from the same stone on the same site.
