This marked path is the third proposed secondary route with a total length of 850 m that descends to the area called Tramythia.
At about 180 m from the plateau, you are at a point where the dirt path splits. Following the path on the left, make another small deviation of 150 meters – in the 3rd secondary route – to climb to the chapel of Prophet Elias that dominates at the top. The view across the area is excellent. Going back again, the marked path now descends to the shore and ends at the chapel of Agios Nikolaos.
