A continuation of Route 2, for those comfortable with hiking. From Souli it passes the village of Samoniva and climbs to the enigmatic Kiafa Fortress — a sixteen-sided stronghold (probably Venetian) with panoramic views over the Acheron chasms and the plain of Fanari. The return is via the Dala Bridge towards Glyki, along the steep paths where heroic battles were fought against Ali Pasha.
