Absolutely incredible views over Zankythos. Very hard walk up especially in the heat. Recommend taking a good supply of water!! We parked at the bottom just off the main road and walked up the gravel path. Did see a couple of cars drive up but didn't want to risk it as the roads weren't great. If you don't want to walk it, we saw a couple of quad bikes and they seemed to be managing the road with ease. No refreshment stop half way up , it is no longer there but a lovely cafe 200m for the monastery which sells cold drinks and ice creams. Also a Byzantine church ruin on the way up which is worth having a look. Sign stating the history in greek and english near the outside of the ruin. When you get to the top the monastery is locked but the man that runs the restaurant was bringing a man up and unlocked it, so we managed to have a look around. It may be worth stopping at the café and asking if he could unlock it before going up the last bit. Also if walk up past the outside of the monastery there is a large pile of rocks that you can climb and reach the peak of mount Skopos. The view is stunning and well worth making the climb. However the rocks are steep so care should be taken . Well worth including on your trip to Zankythos.

A very interesting feature on the small beach. That said, the sun loungers are easy to get and the sea has a very sandy base that is very shallow and safe for a long way out.
