Trailhead parking
Start of the path
Oros Giona 2510m Greece
Yet another mountain where the drive-up was dramatic and awkward. The picture showing where I parked looks so innocuous, however believe me that lower track from the left is rougher than any unadopted road you're likely to come across. Nevertheless, I was joined later by a couple in a small two-wheel drive, obviously, hired car.
From the trailhead at N**** there is a marked trail that zigzags up the steep rocky slopes through the ubiquitous pine trees.
