Mount Kynthos Summit (Delos)
37° 23.7′ N · 25° 16.4′ E
A short, steep climb on ancient steps to the 112 m summit and the Sanctuary of Zeus and Athena. You look down over the whole ruin field to Rineia, Mykonos, Tinos, Syros, Paros and Naxos.
Practical
The path is rocky with no shade, so go early. The Sanctuary of Zeus Kynthios and Athena Kynthia sits on the summit (OSM 37.39556, 25.27251). Wikivoyage recommends it to escape the crowds. Position is the OSM summit (Kynthos, 112 m).
