Alternative proposal for the approach to point 05 (starting point of the ascent to the top), via the Vistagi – Pigadia Tsikala route.
The transition to point 05, where the main ascent to the top begins, can also be done by 4X4 vehicle or on foot from Vistagi, following the dirt road that leads to Pigadia Tsikala and a little further up the bend where point 05 is.
The dirt road in question, 7.7 km long, starts 1.3 km from the exit of Vistagi (Church of Sotira Christos) to Platania or 4.28 km from the exit of Platania to Vistagi.
