Long climb from Argostoli, road surface not always in good condition, but fine for cycling over, in the descent be careful of holes, bumps and gravel on the road. Last 3-4km are the toughest. Once at the top of the mast, unfortunately not a nice view right away, you then have to go 500-600m on a gravel path, so watch your tyres carefully or walk the last bit (just flat).... read more

Lange klim vanuit Argostoli, wegdek niet altijd in goede conditie, maar prima om over te fietsen, in de afdaling wel goed opletten met gaten, oneffenheden en grind op de weg.
Laatste 3-4km zijn het zwaarst. Eenmaal boven bij de mast helaas niet direct een mooi uitzicht, je moet dan nog 500-600m over een grindpad, pas dus goed op je banden of loop het laatste stukje (gewoon vlak).

Very nice climb and a must for anyone going to Kefalonia who likes road cycling and climbing. Kefa has lots of climbs to choose from but this is the ultimate one. If you're lucky you'll get above the clouds. Don't forget you'll have a beautiful descent back but have a small ascent to do two thirds back to Agostoli.
