This video starts at the source of Aroanios river (near Planitero village, elevation 620 m / 2034.12 ft) and follows the narrow road (an uphill journey with a few very narrow and tight hairpins) to a village called Armpounas (elevation 910 m / 2985.56 ft). At 10:31 the video shows the same journey the other way round (downhill).

There is a locust swarm near Armpounas. You can see them flying around the car or sitting on it and on the windshield.


You can see some photos of Armpounas itself and the surrounding area from my Panoramio account:
