With Sougia (1) as a starting point, and the plateau of Omalos as a destination, we can choose between two different ways: One of them passes through Koustogerako and the other through the gorge of Agia Irini.
Either way, we initially follow the paved road that crosses the gorge of Sougia.
About 2 km from Sougia, we come to a right turn-off (2); this descends for approximately 800 m, to the point where there is a bridge (3), which we cross. We then continue on an uphill paved road which winds on the pine-covered slope and after 4 km we reach the settlement of Livadas (4).
We continue on the paved road until Koustogerako (5), at an altitude of 500 m, on the western side of Lefka Ori.
