Ascend through the village's last taverns and follow the narrow concrete road leading into the forest. It soon turns into a dirt road; continue until you come across a fork, with a water tank on your left side. Take the left branch and keep walking until you find the opening of a small track, marked by a cairn, on your right. The path soon becomes wider, and you should begin to see the E6 waymarks, which will take you to the peak.The first part of the trail goes through a shrubbery, and the blazing sun may be hard to bear in the summer. Be patient, however, as you will soon reach an ancient oak forest, offering much needed shade and captivating views of the sea. Although the ascend is strenous, this is arguably the most rewarding part of the route, thanks to the beauty of the scenery. You are almost certain to meet one or more of the island's wild goats.
Keep heading upwards towards the peaks, turning left at the end of the forest. This is a subalpine zone; you will not find any more trees- or shade- until the top. Brackens are virtually everywhere, and the terrain gradually becomes rocky. There is a spring hidden within a small opening in the rocks, but it is almost submerged in the ground and it may be hard to fill your bottles with clean water.
Head to the left, keeping the peaks to your right. You should soon see the last part of the path, which will take you to the top. Turn right and ascend to the ridge, then turn left to find the first trigonometrical point, signifying the first of the three highest peaks. Fengari is the second one and offers a panorama of the whole island, surrounded by the deep blue of the Aegean sea.
