The trail continues level for approximately 20 min until it reaches a wide rocky surface with views to the northern side of the island.
The path is literally carved in the rock (photo 20).

At the col, turn left -there are some ruined farmhouses to your right- and descend.
The path passes by ruined farmhouses and olive groves and ends up at Agioklima Beach where you will find two tamarisks for shade, fine sand and crystal clear waters.
Return: There is the possibility of a circular path if you climb left edge of the beach and follow the path heading south which passes over the Kastro beach and climbs to Kefales following Route 3, meets Route 2 and descends to Chorio.
