5Sunset in Zia
Driver was very friendly and knowledgeable about best view points and there's plenty of places to eat, would book in advance ..
5Beautiful
An absolute must. Prompt pick up, great driver. The village is beautiful - lovely shops and plenty of places to eat. We booked Sunset Balcony and had the best table in the taverna with stunning views! Service here was excellent and the food was great. Pick up on the way back was 8.50pm so it gave us plenty of time to explore. Great value and highly recommended.
5Fantastic trip
It was a lovley evening plenty of shops to go around as well as look at the beautiful sunset that takes place I would advise taking a jumper it can get a bit chilly especially in late September plenty of restaurants to have a bit to eat
350 minute wait for bus.
Not much to share in fairness as only entailed a shared bus journey which left us standing outside our hotel in the heat for nearly 50 minutes and no direct means of phoning an office. Eventually when I did find a number - it didn’t answer - even the concierge at our hotel tried numbers for us. Sunset in Zia is fabulous and worth the trip. Once bitten ………
1Appalling waste of our time.
Tour operator failed to turn-up. A complete waste of time. We missed the sunset because we had to find an alternative means of transport.
4Beautiful Sunset; pleasant Evening.
The pick up was excellent. On time & friendly, polite driver. As expected, it became very busy after 6.00 pm when many coaches arrived. We were lucky to get a table for dinner, but would advise to book ahead if you wish to get sunset views. Usual tourist gift shops, but pleased we went to Zia for the experience.

About Kos
Kos is a Greek island in the Dodecanese close to the Turkish coast, with ancient ruins, sandy beaches and a knights' castle at the harbour.
Kos lies close to the Turkish coast, with Kos Town on its north shore, where a castle of the Knights of St John guards the harbour and palms line the waterfront. The town is also a living archaeological site, with Roman mosaics, the ancient agora and a restored Roman house. Hippocrates, the father of medicine, is said to have been born on the island, and a huge old plane tree in town is named after him.
