If you have a masochistic trait, this is the road to take to Almogia. The steepest sections are followed by bits to relax. Brand new road surface is smooth as silk though rain has already caused some minor damage to the edges.
The views from Almogia are worth the climb, but I would only take this route if you like the steepness or are looking for bragging rights as the other routes treat you to the same view.
