Geocache Description:


The place.

We put this cache in the SE top above Styra. The locality is known as Acropolis of Styra. In the area of the castle
is found the church of Virgin Mary and next to it, in the base of a rock exists physics reservoir with potable water!!!
The view from this place is one of the most beautiful that you will ever meet. More information in the following links.

The Cache.

Outside from Styra at the coordinates 38 09.705N, 24 14.270E exists the sign "Drakospita" from where begins an easy dirty road
that leads in the Castle of Armenon and to "Drakospita" (Dragon's houses). At the point 38 09.466N, 24 15.471E you will meet
a crossroad where the right path leads you to the castle, and the left path to "Drakospita" ('Palli-Lakka-Drago' their local
name). As you reached until here it deserves to visit them.
At about 600m you reach in the point 38 09.192N, 24 15.372E (altitude 402m) where you can leave your vehicle.
From this point you should continue on foot at the altitude of 644m . The path is well signaled. You have to follow the red
marks. When you arrive at the entrance of the castle follow the red spots at the East until you reache the country church
of Virgin Mary. You are near the crypt!!!
