Zakynthos Lighthouse Keri Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

bevema: As the situation with the fenced-off area nearby the lighthouse making it impossible to visit the lighthouse for free and the partly horrible ratings on tripadvisor for the location (https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g1189823-d6648558-Reviews-Keri_Lighthouse-Keri_Village_Zakynthos_Ionian_Islands.html ), I decided to archive the cache.

When I visited the area 12 years ago, it was nice and almost abandoned, no commercial pressure to consume anything from nobody.

Sorry for the recent inconveniences, many thanks for 1,267 happy finds and also to Christa007 for helping me maintaining the cache in good shape.

Regards, Martin

Geocache Description:

A cache close to the lighttower of Keri, at the southernmost end of Zakynthos Island

About 6 years ago I've visited this fantastic coast the first time with my former wife, offering a great view from the cliffs.
At that time I didn't know nothing about geocaching. Now I've placed a cache over there, because the high cliffs are among the most spectacular ones I know of. The nearby lighthouse is very small and almost invisible, entry is forbidden.

When arriving at the lighthouse and leaving your car, walk about 40 meters back along the left side of the tamarc road. Under two big trees you will find a heap of stones, covering the cachebox.
Beware of the cliffs, there is no need to trespass the fence on their edge.
Please hide the cachebox well again after finding it.
And please don't put any flammable items into the cache, just to avoid a fire hazard !!

The cache is a deep freeze box ( 8 * 15 * 6 cm), it initially contained:

  • cachenote (please do not remove)
  • logbook (please do not remove)
  • pencil and sharpener (please do not remove)
  • smiley stamp
  • bear stamp
  • wristlet
  • hairclips

(V 1.01 (fire hazard added))
(V 2.00 (new hiding place, adapted description)
Small note on cache maintenance: In accordance with the guidelines, the local maintenance will be done by a friend on the island, living about 20 km away. E-mail address has been documented with geocaching.com.
