The view from the summit is great. In the NO the coast of Turkey, in the NW the islands Pserimo and Kalymnos. In addition, those who reach the summit early enough experience a beautiful sunrise.

A few tips for this hike:

You can park your car right under the church in Lagoudi.

You can buy water in Paloe Pyli Taverna, but it costs € 2.50 per half liter. Since the taverna was full, we got a liter for € 2.

A great and exhausting day comes to an end.

We have set ourselves the goal of climbing the highest mountain on Kos. The Dikeos.
I admit, with its 846 meters it's not the highest mountain I've ever climbed, but at almost 30 degrees and only on scree it was a challenge.
The many animals, such as free-living turtles 🐢 were …

Ideal for mountain hiking at this time! Nature in full bloom, it's not too hot. There were very few people around, I could enjoy the summit and the great view all by myself. The tour is not too strenuous, not exposed, good hiking boots 🥾 and hiking poles are recommended.
