"Agios" is a Greek word and means "Sacred" or "Saint". Dikaios is a municipality on the island of Kos, but also the name for the highest mountain on Kos (846 meter).
There is only a small hiking trail (about 2 hours walking/climbing). It is shown on the following map (

Please inform yourself further about this trail and the precautions before you start this hike.
When you reached the summit you can take a look into the church and you will also have a great view to the sea south and north of this island.
On some occasions some people of Kos come to worship in Agios Christos in very early morning (sunrise).
