    Path is marked red and green, partly quite faded. Seems like we had a GPS drop en route, so graph and elevation gain/loss are not quite accurate here. Amazing tour, prepare for basic climbing and some exposed sections.

    Εντυπωσιακή διαδρομή. Σε ορισμένα σημεία στο φαράγγι, χρειάζεται προσοχή.
