Description by the author

This trial climbs up Skaros through the crags above the Nikiana looping around the back to descend by track and road back to Nikiana. The climb is a full 600m up through the oak forest and crags of the eastern flank of Skaros. When you look up Skaros from the Nikiana-Nidri road you see the towering crags. This trail takes a classic monopati to thread through those crags in perfect safety.
