The trail begins from the eastern edge of the inhabited area of Akrotiri and follows the dirt road for 950 m, untill a dry ravine. Follow this ravine till the chapel of Agia Anna. A small path saves you a bit of road. At the next junction go to the right and descend 1050 m along a dirt road, until a faint path. The path reaches the dirt road in the valley, which ends at the coast.
