Cardiac Hill

(1/3) > >>

Birchy:
Hi There, first time visitor to San Stefanos this July. Reading all your comments since we booked way back in October and you have certainly whetted our appetites. We have stayed in Kassiopi before and loved it and are regular visitors to Greece.

My question is about cardiac hill. We are a group of seven with age ranges from 18 - 63, with a couple of less athletic members, we are staying at the kapetanos appts, are we going to struggle or is it exagerated? For those of you who have stayed in Pefkos (Rhodes), is it on a par with the hill up to the lovely bakery?

Look forward to your replys and will continue to visit the board for all your experiences.

Cheers

Birchy

We stopped at Kapetanios last year. One of us early 60's and formerly a heavy smoker, and had no trouble walking up from the village at all. Just a matter of common sense in that we carried 8ltr of water up when cooler rather than middle of the day.

Hi Birchy
Welcome to the forum.Do not worry about cardiac hill it is nowhere near as bad as the hill in Pefkos.As you are staying at the Kapetanios you are only 2/3 of the way up .The hill is a series of curves which drastically cut the gradient. I stay at the Romanza which is at the top of the hill and despite being well past retirement age it gives me no problems.

I know both hills well and I would say the hill to the Kapatanios is similar (but no worse) than the one in Pefkos.

The only time it can be a bit difficult is during the heat of the afternoon so take half a litre of water and take it steady, you can always stop at the Terasa and have a beer en route!

Once you are at the Kapatanios the view is worth it.

We are staying at the Romanza in a few weeks and that is further up the hill so we might have a Mythos at the Kapatanious on the way!

Birchy:
Many thanks for the replies, that should put some minds at ease. I'm sure I'll be back with some more questions, it would be silly not to use all your knowledge.
