This is a circular route to visit the cave "Drakopigado" similar to Kanalia - Drakopigado - souvala Manoli but shorter (almost half the length), so easier (about 3.5 hours). The first part up to Drakopigado is the same on both routes. In other words, we ascend from the Channels to the cobbled path to the tile, reaching the asphalt we go to the right and to the asphalt hairpin straight east entering a path with red signs that crosses various glades. When we reach the clearing where there are signs for Drakopigado, we go downhill in a southerly direction and reach the cave. We continue on a wide path to the west that goes to a clearing that we see on the ridge in front of us. From there we take a downhill path to the southwest, which below takes us on a road. A few meters below we have the continuation of the path sideways to our right as we descend. Eventually we get back on the road, which is forked (both roads lead to the Canals). We preferred to take the upper road from the fork, which brings us to the Old Fountain at the eastern end of the village of Kanalia and then to the square.
