The route links Glyki with the plain of Sertziana, crossing lush terrain above the western bank of the Acheron. The path rises and falls along the steep slopes west of the river. Just before the end it is worth turning left to visit the river and the mythical Gates of Hades, the entrance to the Acheron gorge.
