| The cache search will
take you inside Platres-Troodos forest
area. |
| It’s not a very long
walk and is part of a nature trail (See also Pouziaris cache
GCZQZV). |
| I recommend you do the
search on foot and even stay for a night at
the |
| village and enjoy its
beauties as well as the other few caches in the area (See also
Platres Mega Hunt cache
GCZMF8). |
Note: The Area is regularly polluted
by 'people'. Please help 'Cache In Trash Out'.
Take with you a bag and help keep the area clean. The Cache is in a
bag. If you see that the bag started to deteriorate please help to
dispose it correctly.
Please note that this is an area that people visit so please
hide the cache as you have found it.

NOTES ON CYPRUS SNAKES: In case you are bitten by
any snake DO NOT PANIC and visit the hospital asap (since
even with the harmless to humans snakes you might be allergic to
the venom). The
Vipera Lebetina (Blunt Nosed Viper is almost
unnoticeable due to its color and will make a sound if disturbed
and before it attacks. It will not attack unless provoked so if you
are face to face with one stay still) is VERY
dangerous to humans and Highly Venomous. There
are two more Venomous snakes in Cyprus but
'Harmless' to humans. The
Malpolon Monspessulanus (Montpellier Snake will
make a sound if disturbed and before it attacks) and the
Telescopus Fallax (Cat Snake is very small and
is actually a night snake). The very common Black snake of
Cyprus is NOT venomous and not dangerous to
humans.

p.s. Cache was initially named "The Rock Tower". Later I found
out that the specific rock is actually called "The Rock of St.
Irene".
