Beware! Do not do this path. It is dangerous for many reasons: 1. You don't have clear indications, the mountain is not densely forested, but it's very tricky. You will find at your disappointment that the sings will lead you nowhere at a certain point. We camped on the mountain for a night because of this.
2. Very difficult terrain, full of sharp stones and thorn bushes. No paths, very steep. Once you are down in grama your knees are over. Also imprtant, there are exteremly few camping sites! We saw only 3! Beware.
3. Local farmers are not very helpful, and sometimes will give you exagerated estimates. One shepherd said to us it's a 20 min to get from our camp to grama bay. In reality it was 3 hours at least. And trust me, we are intermediate.
We had to go to grama and ask for help from coming boats. Coming back by foot is not an option as you can loose your way easily again. We were lucky to be well prepared, this track will take you at least 10-12 hours, as the second half has no paths. You go through rocks and thorny bushes. Be safe and avoid, go to this bay only by boat.
