It keeps following the coast through Galaxidi and Itea, where it leaves the coast. The GR-27 branches off towards Amfissa and Lamia north of Itea. The GR-48 continues east through Delphi and Arachova. It ends in Livadeia, where it is connected with the GR-3.There are 5 tunnels on the road 48, 3 tunnels near Nafpaktos (xiropigado tunnel 500m), a 200m tunnel near Delphi, and a 300m tunnel near Livadia (Karakolithos tunnel).
