Add Overview text here.
The trail is part of the 03 National Trail coming from Vikos gorge in the south and crossing Gamila from W to E.
Even though a branch of this trail starts from Megalo (=big) Papigo village (39.96778/20.7275), most people prefer to drive up to Mikro (=small) Papigo village (<1km E) and start from there.
Don't forget sun lotion and glasses, you're in Greece ! But take also warm and rain clothes, the weather of this area is known to be very unstable and could get stormy quickly.
