If you have the energy and would like a bigger hike today, an energetic detour can be made to the Setsas peak, a jagged, rocky ridge jutting out of the meadows to the south. This detour might add about 3-4 hrs to your day.
The Setsas is memorable for its 360 degree views, and if you have a clear day, it should not disappoint.

Turn-by-turn directions
- Leave Pralongia restaurant to the south-east on trail 24. The trail turns delightfully small and quiet after Pralongia - you’ve been in a pretty built up area to now - and stays high in the hills with continued great views.
- Keep right on 24 when 24A splits to the left, then keep left on 24 when trail 23 splits right to Piccolo Setsas. This brings you to quickly to another fork, where you turn right to ascend the ridge trail, first through meadow, then rocks, with the final stretch even rockier and a bit more demading.
- Your trail ends at the Setsas peak at 2571 meters. Congratulations! Relax for a bit and enjoy the panorama.
- Return to Pralongia along the same trail to continue your hike.
