Hi, we are about to come to San Stefanos for the first time this September.  We have been holidaying in Greece and her islands for almost 20 years now.  All reports from San Stefanos are great but being a 'larger' lady with asthma I am vecoming concerned about the hills!  We are staying in the Tsaros.  Any thoughts/advice please.

I was until recently a 40 year 40 a day smoker so not too hot on the old breathing. On the last weekend of June we walked to Arillas twice and once up and along the path on the ridge of the cliffs. Not too bad at all to pleasantly surprise us. I have worse to contend with on my way to work in a morning. Admittedly i wouldn't have liked to do those walks on our second or third weeks. Looking forward to doing it all again in September!

There is a hill up to Tsaros - we live up just past there so often walk it twice a day back and forward to work. Its not as bad as it looks and is certainly not the steepest, longest hill in the village. The views are great and Tsaros is a nice place to be.

If you are a bit unfit then you may find it tough. I personally don't like the hills at all these days,
but I can do it in spite of an occasional bad back and sciatica.
All due respect to Gwen (Holistica), but if you live there and do it Daily - you get very acclimatised to it, plus Gwen is quite fit anyway.
(yes Gwen - you are one fit lady - LOL)
I on the other hand am getting older now and I also get a touch of Asthma, but the hill was manageable.
We stayed in the Moros Apts. just 20 metres down the hill from Tsaras and I found it a bit tough going, but everyone seems to make it OK.
I hated the hill when the sun was Hot, but in the evenings it was not so bad.
My advice is go slowly, stop for a short rest halfway up - turn admire the view, and you will be fine.
Tsaras has a nice pool and bar to stay in if you don't like the walk to the beach, and a nice restaurant is just below you - Elphita Bistro.
When we stayed there a few years back, we were getting quite used to it by the end of 2 weeks, and it seemed a shorter trip then somehow, by the end of the fortnight.

I also have asthma but never find the hill to where we stay at Teresa to bad at all. In fact I feel better in the resort health wise than I do at home. It's just something you do get used to during your stay.
