Our route follows this narrow crest, leaving it only at the great cleft before the high summit.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And Souflikas, like all the remote summits of the massif, keeps the memories of the Civil War intact: gun emplacements, shell fragments and small embrasures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/grammostrails.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Gramos_2520_gistova_01-1.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-x9wLBJUT\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"704\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/grammostrails.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Gramos_2520_gistova_01-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1658\" srcset=\"https:\/\/grammostrails.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Gramos_2520_gistova_01-1.jpg 704w, https:\/\/grammostrails.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Gramos_2520_gistova_01-1-264x300.jpg 264w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 704px) 100vw, 704px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Geum coccineum, \u03c3\u03c0\u03ac\u03bd\u03b9\u03bf\u03c2 \u03ba\u03ac\u03c4\u03bf\u03b9\u03ba\u03bf\u03c2 \u03c4\u03c9\u03bd \u03c5\u03b3\u03c1\u03ce\u03bd \u03b8\u03ad\u03c3\u03b5\u03c9\u03bd \u03c3\u03c4\u03b1 \u03c5\u03c0\u03bf\u03b1\u03bb\u03c0\u03b9\u03ba\u03ac \u03bb\u03b9\u03b2\u03ac\u03b4\u03b9\u03b1<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The route begins from the village of Gramos and follows the dirt road (with some shortcuts) as far as the Stani Lambrou meadow, where the namesake livestock installation stands.
