I ran up to the summit several times on a recent holiday and loved every one. The routes and paths are what you should expect when visiting something like this. They're reasonably tough for those less used to hill and mountain walking but it's quite small and doesn't take long to reach the top. The views are exceptional from both peaks (there is a large perteuding rock that you can also access via a path to the rear) and well worth it. As I said though, this is a natural Mediterranean hill with a 3000 year old structure on it, the path will be tricky for small children, people with mobility issues and those not used to rough terrain.
