Geocache Description:

A cache at the minoan villa of Vathipetro.

Vathipetro lies some five kilometres south of Archanes at the foot of the southern end of Mount Juktas in Central Crete and was probably on the Minoan route from Knossos to the Messara plain in the south of the island. A finely paved area was used for storage, and the production of wine and textiles. The wine-press can still be seen. Many clay loom weights were also found. This gives a pretty clear indication of the basic economic activity conducted by the inhabitants of the house.
The site is open all year round and entrance is free. For visitors to Archanes it is well worth the five-kilometre drive just to see the indoor wine press alone, and of course the spectacular views of the Juktas mountain and the view to the south.
The cache area is by the main road under a big stone. Please be carefull because at summertime there are a lot of tourists.
