If you are brave and have no more water, you can fill up here. (I survived it 😉)

The plateau is a must for road cyclists in this area. It's best to drive around it once. But be careful, always drive on the main road. Komoot often sends you down the small paths that go across the fields. These are mostly just gravel roads.

Very beutiful tour with a lot of really wonderful panoramic views. Make sure that after passing the highest point of the Kaminaki pass road you follow the road to Panagia and not to Geraki because that one will have some off-road passages.
