Modern Description: There are several routes up to the summit of Mount Ochi (1,399 m): it can be reached with some difficulty in 3 hours from Kylindri. The easiest and safest route is from the northwest, where the mountain road which continues high above Grabiá eventually brings you to a little over 900m a.s.l., from where the peak is visible and can be reached with a further climb of little over an hour. The path, latterly very steep, is hinted by stone cairns. Cloud can suddenly and unpredictably envelop the summit, and care should be taken to ensure that weather conditions and pressure are stable before attempting the climb. The summit is a line of eroded tors, more reminiscent of sculpture than a mountain peak. It is marked by the chapel of Prophitis Elias.
