A circular hiking trail that starts from Pyli. The route takes about 3.2 hours in total. It is a combination of the two trails A32 and A33, creating a circular route around Mount Itamos. The route starts from the center of Pyli and passes through Goura and the Koukourelou location, reaching the highest peak of Itamos at 1,132m. At the top of the mountain, the ancient castle of Athineo survives. From here, trails descend to Porti (Karditsa) and join the network of trails in Karditsa. The return is towards north and ends at the Byzantine bridge of Agios Vissarion where it connects to Vlachostrata and the rest of the trails in the network.
