Good trip - Everything went very well and the driver was on schedule. Three hours in Zia was enough for dinner and exploring the town.

Excellent - Picked up on time both ways. Lovely few hours out, definitely enough time. Approx 3 hours in Zia, enough time to get some food and have a wander. Advise to pre book meal as it gets busy

Lovely place to watch sunset - Lovely place to visit, but claim your spot by the wall asap for the view as gets very busy at that point for viewing. Restaurants busy too with best views. Prompt on pick ups, would use again

Very well organised sunset experience - It's just transport to Zia but the VW mini bus picked us up on time outside the hotel. We were dropped off in Zia just past the viewing area which was ideal. The vehicle was air-conditioned and clean and the driver courteous, so what more could you want. The return journey was equally prompt and efficient. Communication via WhatsApp worked well.

Nice spot but overrated - Good, careful coach driver, very prompt but got there to see last 5 minutes of sunset, 3 & a half hours way too long, shops very samey, full of tourist tat apart from the odd one or 2. Ate in Avli taverna where food was awful, we ended up giving it to the cats! Beautiful streets with nice views had you gone earlier, 2 hours max would have been enough here. Overall disappointing.

Beautiful views with some flaws - 1st of all if you go here you do get some really terrific views of kos you're so high up. We did go for views mainly anyway but we arrived at about 3.50pm and didn't leave until 8.45pm. This is far too long as there's only really a church you can walk up to which unfortunately we didn't go up to as path was blocked by a swarm of hornets. There are only a few souvenir shops and some restaurants. We did go into the national park which was £5 pp but animals in way to small enclosures and took all of 10-15 minutes to get around but killed a bit of time. We went to a restaurant to eat there with beautiful views however I couldn't physically eat half of it as hornets were everywhere swarming over your food. I have a severe phobia and cried most of the hours I was there. If you have phobia of wasps/hornets etc I wouldn't go as they are everywhere. We ended up sitting on a bench for the last 2 hours because there was nothing to do as we had seen everything We did realise apparently once we were back we could have got a trip which was 6pm-9pm instead so opt for that one if you just want to mainly go for the views and dinner as not much else there at all. Wouldn't visit again but mainly due to the amount of hornets/wasps there and lack of things there.
