Thanks for the tour
In October of this year my wife and I would like to do this hike, from Kouremenos to Vai. However, since my wife had a knee operation in June, I have doubts whether this tour is feasible.
Apparently it has some steep climbs and descents. Is it a scramble and a lot of strain on the knees?
Danke für die Tour
Im Oktober dieses Jahres möchten meine Frau und ich diese Wanderung, ab Kouremenos bis Vai machen. Da meine Frau jedoch im Juni eine Knie-OP hatte, habe ich Zweifel ob diese Tour machbar ist.
Anscheinend hat sie einige steile Auf- und Abstiege. Ist das eine Kraxelei und für die Knie eine grosse Belastung?
Hi, if you're in doubt, go the other way, start from Vai, and try it. Obviously it will depend on how your wife goes.
Vai is very busy though, and expensive to park at. Where I finished (Itanos beach), parking is free, and an easy walk to Vai!
Good luck, and hope you wife is ok!
