Mount Zas Drimalia 843 02, Greece Last Updated: 03/21/2026 |
| With its highest peak reaching 1,004 meters (or 3,000 feet), Mount Zas, located 18 km from the town of Naxos, is the highest mountain in the Cyclades archipelago. It's no surprise that Zeus, the father of the Greek gods, was raised here, while his son, Dionysus, the god of wine and pleasure, was also raised here, specifically in a cave on the mountain known as the Zas Cave. | |
| The Zas Cave, or Zeus's Cave, is an ancient Greek cave located on Mount Zas on the island of Naxos. It was inhabited from the late Neolithic to the early Cycladic III period. The Zas Cave sits at an altitude of 630 meters above sea level and is situated southeast of Filoti, a village at the foot of the mountain. Numerous large stalactites and stalagmites have been found inside the cave. | |
