Cardiac hill?

<< < (2/4) > >>

YANNIS26:
Hi Mike
The term cardiac hill is slightly misleading.You and I are about the same age and I have no problem with the hill.I have stayed at the Romanza for the last 12 years and tackle the hill at least twice a day.It is true the Romanza is situated high above the village.The hill itself does not take a direct route but weaves up the hillside. This cuts the gradient dramatically.So pace yourself and the so called cardiac hill should not be a major problem.In my opinion a visit to the Romanza is worth the climb if only for the magnificent views from its pool area of the offshore islands.
Add to this the Sunday night Greek Night which I believe is well worth the climb.A bonus of the evening visit must be the amazing sunsets.

Actually in the old days Cardiac Hill was the description for the hill road from Summer Dreams / juice bar  - - up to the top of the headland and Akrotiri Bar.
Parts of this hill really are steep but manageable, (first 150 metres), just do it a bit at a time, once past Tsaros Poolbar, the road is not quite as steep and a slow pleasant walk.

Somehow over the years, the term Cardiac Hill seemed to transfer to the main road to Romanza, and as the others state - is not as bad as it looks or sounds.

If the going gets tough - stop for a restful drink or coffee half way - going back down is easy!

Andrew:
I would say they are both about a six or seven take a break on the way up to get your breath back,it is easier to go up early morning or early evening when the sun is not to hot . The views are worth the effort.  :)

I agree Andrew, we stayed in the Moros Apartments one year, just under Tsaros, and it was a killer in the sun, coming back from the beach especially,
but early or late when it's a bit fresher out, not a real problem  - - and you get used to it after 2 weeks.

Richard/Jackie/Nathan:
We didnt find it that hard - the first bit up to Kapitanios is the worst then its not so steep. Mind you it was after midnight every night and we had 'enjoyed the evenings' ha!
