Gingilos (Gigilos, Γκίγκιλος) and Volakias (Βολακιάς)

At the end of the road, follow a signpost "Gigilos" pointing right uphill, where a nicely paved and marked stone path leads upward in hairpin bends (E4). After a crossing, it later goes downhill again through rocky terrain and you pass through a rock gate to reach the Linoseli spring in a cirque, which provides drinking water year-round. Behind this, you climb up through numerous hairpin bends on a scree slope to the Afchenas saddle.

At the fork at the saddle, turn left and follow the signpost "Gigilos (2080 m)". The path becomes rocky and leads up to a forepeak, where easy climbing sections must be overcome (SG I). From the forepeak, you walk flat along cairns and red dots northwards and past the edge of a karst basin. Behind this, you reach the main summit of Gingilos along numerous yellow dots and arrows through easy block climbing terrain (SG I+).

From the main summit of Gingilos, return to the forepeak with its stone pyramid and turn left there to follow inconspicuous cairns downhill, which lead down to a rocky saddle. From this saddle, first bypass a small rock barrier on the right, then return left onto the ridge to follow it uphill for a short distance along large stone pyramids, then traverse left into the slope (trail traces). Higher up, cairns indicate an increasingly distinct path that leads left of the increasingly rocky ridge upwards and later into a funnel-shaped, flat cirque dotted with rocks. Here, turn slightly left and follow cairns to the opposite mountain ridge, where the terrain becomes flatter and gently slopes at the top. Finally, turn right to reach the main summit of Volakias in a large arc, recognized on the right by a fallen stone pillar.

From the summit of Volakias, return on the same route as the ascent to the first saddle and cross without a path and slightly uphill to the left below the Gingilos forepeak over a long scree slope to pass several prominent stone pyramids, then return to the marked ascent path to Gingilos and follow it left and downhill back to the starting point.
