The next day, after breakfast and cleaning the shelter, we leave at 09.00. For about 1.5 hours we follow a strongly uphill course in the northwest direction towards the peak "Agrimoukefala" in a field unstable and irregular (not a path), climbing about 300 meters altitude (distance up to a peak: 2.2 km). Then we travel along the ridge above the Taurus Plateau without altitude differences for another 2 km until we begin a steep downhill course towards a small stretch of land west of Krapis.

At the end of it, we find a well-formed path that smoothly leads us after another kilometer to a small basin where we meet a shepherd's farmhouse and a rural road.
