Knights Castle

[Mutzenhubel]

Can anybody tell me the exact height above sea level of the Knights Castle?
(round about 150 m I would guess)

Google Earth claims it's 125m at the highest point although I don't know how reliable that is. The same view has most of the harbour at 1 to 2m which is reassuring.
My Symi map is in my left luggage bag on the island and I'm back home so I can't check that for you. I do know someone holidaying on Symi at the moment who usually has a hand-held GPS for their walking expeditions and I may be able to ask them to pop up to the castro and take a reading if you really want a correct measurement.

Hi Mutzenhubel

I have no answer to your question I'm afraid but I would really like to know why you want to know?????

This isn't a serious question and really not important - I'm just curious.

Thank you, Allan, for your kind offer.
There is no need to hurry,
but I am looking forward to learn about the details.

Hi Sue,
We are usually staying at Yialos. And we do not get younger.
At least once a stay we walk to the Castle via the Kataraktis. And the usual question is: "Will we be able to make it this year once again?"
That's why we like to learn about the difference in height we are still able to manage.
(And we are curious as well.)

Right....

I have got a reply from my walking friend who is on Symi at the moment.

She took her GPS device up to the Castro this morning and the exact height above mean sea level of the rock at the highest point is 152 metres. Outside the blue and white church it is 141 metres.

I hope that answers your question.

Wow! That is service for you. Well done both of you. Who needs google?

Thank you, Allan, for your kind support and thank you to your walking friend.
No question left.
