Dikaios Christos Peak
Δικαίος Χριστός
The highest point on Kos Island (about 846 m), topped by a small white chapel, with 360-degree views over the whole island and its neighbours.
Mount Dikaios is the ridge running across eastern Kos, and its highest summit, Christos Peak, has a small chapel. The classic route starts from the village of Zia and takes about 2–2.5 hours one way. The path is mostly loose gravel, with some steep sections and no shade, so bring plenty of water and wear non-slip shoes. The summit offers excellent views of Nisyros, Kalymnos and the Turkish coast. In spring or autumn, set out early in the morning, and watch the sunset from Zia after you descend.
