Beautifully paved road between olive trees to the waterfall of Kato Symi.
Last stretch is just hairpin bends.
After the bends, the tarmac stops and becomes gravel.

Prachtig geasfalteerde weg tussen de olijfbomen door naar de waterval van Kato Symi.
Laatste stuk is alleen maar haarspeldbochten.
Na de bochten stopt het asfalt en wordt het gravel.
