From Ziros, the E4 European trail heads northeastwards and soon enters a network of dirt roads that lead to the ruined historic settlement Skalia. Skalia was fortified and its residents were slaughtered by the Turks.

From Skalia, we walk north- and eastwards, we pass a small plateau and then descend to Ano Zakros springs, next to the old water mills.
