We took it with our little daughters, so it we were quite slow, I think it took us at least 2-3 hours to climb up. It's 700 meters difference of altitude. Back to the Pansiyon it's a very easy way, one hour or a quarter more. . We walked most of the way just on the road, there was virtually no traffic, so it's entirely safe. Then we shortcuted the last few curves by climbing on a steep rocky slope and it was very amusing to get to the huge heads like that. That part was very safe, too, but we have much practice in hiking. On the way back it was night so we walked all the way on the road. We could find another path. It was last August but in spite of this there were almost nobody who went up from that side, we suppose people avoid SE Turkey because of the situatuion in Syria.
