C'mon Jules - you're six foot two inches tall on the longest legs in the resort - three strides and you're there!! LOL

don:
Jules has minus one O Level........ Minus ten if you take in spelling! the to in " never find the hill to where we stay at Teresa to bad at all. " Should read TOO ...... Obviously the fact that I am not English helps me when speaking/typing/writing English...... OK! Unfair advantage LOL

Colin:
I stayed just above the Teresa at Kapitanios and only once did the "Hill" nearly kill me  :o but I was rushing back to try and catch the end of the Newcastle v West Brom game  :D other than that I found the walk quite pleasant, I wouldn't fancy the Romanza tho!  :o :o

Bubblehead and kipper:
Views and the sound of the sea from the hill side/top aps are fantastic, but what we need is local shuttle service for the hot trips during the day and for those with health problems!!!!. If you are able to do hills, then walking home at night at an enjoyable pace, taking in the stars, sound of the sea, tranquility and the occasional conversation with tourists/locals you meet along the way, can become a most enjoyable routine. These locations are usually very peaceful too and you can spend time away without feeling isolated from everyone. 

We stayed at Theos aps(top of hill behind Nafsika) for many years and the walks home at night was one aspect of the hols that we enjoyed most and dreamt about when we were back in th U.K and pined for a SS hol. We only made one trip up the hill during the day at about 7pm in time to watch the spectacular sun sets with refreshments before going out for dinner.

Many of these aps have the family in Res, so you become not only part of the community in that setting but get close to the Greek culture.

It looks very warm and inviting at the Tsaras pool bar, their customers seem to like staying there in the evenings and it always seem buzzing. Many of our customers comment on the fab Sunday night BBQs, we live just down from there and must make the effort to go there. All good reviews about staying there, you will love it.

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)

Yes you are right Tony - if you suffer a bit with the old bones and joints etc the hill can be a bit tough on you - ( I do too believe it or not - although they're maybe not so old! ;) ). And yes its harder in the heat of the daytime and easier at night but as you say you can do a bit and rest a bit. I've been known to sit on the Moros wall for a while before doing the rest of the hill. Other times its ok to do it in one. I guess its easier for us as we are used to it by now. But the atmosphere is great in Tsaros Bar and when I go home late evening I can hear lots of chatter and fun being had - and great music too as I pass by. And sometimes we stop for a cool drink before wandering along to our house. Tsaros has people returning year after year- a very friendly bunch.
