Geocache Description:

This cache is very close to the twisty road from Chorio to Panormitis and Marathounda ... between turns 4 and 5. It's likely that you'll have a car or scooter to reach here on the way to the "Taxiarchis Panormitis - Symi" cache by YanniG.
You can park close to the cache and then have a short scramble up a rocky bank to GZ.


Symi is a beautiful and safe place to explore but can be extremely hot. Please don’t walk off well defined tracks alone or without your phone. Wear good shoes and *always* carry plenty of water. x




The 12 turns ...


The road down to Panormitis is marvel and well worth a stop to admire the views - hence the cache. It's a 12-turn zig-zag down the mountain and you'll pass some interesting places on the way, such as the Byzantine Wine presses (a lovely walk through the woods to find them - signposted from the road).

The cache is located up the rocky bank on the left hand side of the road as you head downwards. There is a good parking spot (see waypoint) and the cache is straight up from here about 75 ft away through some rough stuff. The views are fantastic.

Please hide the cache well to keep it safe from muggles, but more importantly, hungry goats!

FTF will see Greek and English cache notes, logbook, pen, FTF medal, several toys and trinkets for trade. The cache also contains a 35mm micro with cache note and logbook. If you are able to hide this 'chick', then please take it and leave a reference to this 'mother nest' in your new cache description - thanks!

Enjoy the views, the cache, the tradables ... and upload a photo !
