    Along a natural road through the wind farm. Then black-red marked trail. It shortens the switchbacks of the road and runs, partly somewhat exposed but very beautiful, over the sea. For alpine hikers no problem, for children or dogs perhaps rather. The lighthouse from 1864 is a ruin. Then natural road, then trail again, without markings but recognizable, and occasional cairns. Return via a rather boring paved road to Vrouchas. Then further uphill to the starting point at the chapel.
