Geocache Description:





Undiscovered Naxos #4
Monastery of Ayia

Naxos is a big island. You have to rent a car, motorbike or bicycle if you plan on exploring the island, or have your own. Naxos is also truly blessed with some of the most beautiful beaches in all of Greece.
Long stretches of golden sand and the most brilliant colors of blue sea you will ever see. But except the beaches Naxos has many other beautiful places to see.
So, I decide to make a new series of caches in Naxos Island and spot some unknown places to those who visit the island and want not only to visit the known and cosmopolitan parts of it. This is the fourth one of this series. The cache will bring you in the area of the tower and the monastery of Ayia, a medieval tower that lies at the north part of Naxos island on a strategic point.
You will see the tower from the main road from Xora to Apollonas about 6 Km before Apollonas and you can park at the side of the road.The tower unfortunately is in ruins after a big fire on 1992. Take the path that will bring you on the area of the monastery with the enormous plane trees and the spring with the clear fresh water. It's a nice area where you can rest and have a nice view to the around landscape and the Aegean sea. If you can have some food with you, is an excellent choice for a picknick.
Enjoy the place.


We wish you good and pleasant geocaching on Naxos Island.
