Please help;

I'm reading "The moonspinners" by Mary Stewart.

The car from Heraklion had stopped where the path for Agios Geoegios leaves the road.

I don't understand the sentence above. Please explain.

Thanks so much.

Here's how I see this:

There is a road. There is a path that leads from the road off to a place called Agios Geoegios. At this junction is where the car traveling from Heraklion stopped.

Whether this makes sense in the context of the story, I have no clue. But that's the picture this paints in my mind.

Hi Greg,

Yes, it completely makes sense in the context.
Thanks!
