Emerge on asphalt road. Turn right, and follow the road if you want to reach Katharo, or turn left down hill to your car.

To tell the truth, the Wikiloc recording ended here as my phone battery ran out! Continue on asphalt road another .75 km to reach Katharo and the three kafenions. To return to your car after visiting Katharo, use the asphalt road down hill for an easy 5.5 km back to your car.
