Hotels in Mount Ida, Turkey
The Mount Ida region sits in central Crete, Greece, with a Mediterranean climate that brings hot, dry summers averaging 85°F (29°C) and mild, wet winters around 50°F (10°C). Famous as the legendary birthplace of Zeus, you can hike the Psiloritis trails in spring when wildflowers bloom, or explore the Ideon Cave-a 2,500-year-old site where ancient Minoans worshipped. In winter, the higher peaks get snow, making it a rare Greek spot for low-cost snow trekking, while summer evenings are perfect for wandering through the stone villages of Anogia and Zoniana, sampling local cheese and wine.
