Agios Andreas: The Sanctuary of Apollos Korythos Traditional Cache

Greatland Reviewer: Γειά σας.

Αυτή η ιστοσελίδα έχει αρχειοθετηθεί λόγω έλλειψης αντίδρασης, μετά από μυνήματα που στάλθηκαν σχετικά με προβλήματα στην κρύπτη. Αν επιθυμεί ο ιδιοκτήτης, την επαναενεργοποίηση της, μπορεί να έλθει σε επαφή μαζι μου μέσω του profile μου, το συντομότερο δυνατό ,πριν μια νέα κρύπτη τοποθετηθεί στην περιοχή της.

Σημειώστε οτι η επαναενεργοποίηση μιάς κρύπτης απαιτεί την ίδια διαδικασία με τον έλεγχο νέας κρύπτης και θα ισχύουν οι τρέχοντες κανόνες.

Με εκτίμηση,

Geocache Description:

Ancient Sanctuary of Apollos Korythos

Near Longa is the village of Agios Andreas. It was the ancient port of Longa with a shrine of Apollos Korythos. From the Geometric period on the shrine was destroyed and rebuild four times. In the Christian era the shrine was replaced by the nearby basilica and later replaced by the current church of Agios Andreas. Apollo Korythos means "Apollo head of the crest". When the site was discovered several dedications where found including one arachic miniature statue "dedicated from the messinians to athene for the spoils". It is now show in the National Museum in athens.

Nowadays only the ground walls remains of this shrine. It is hidden within the olive plantage of a local farmer who must gain access to the site according to greek regulations. Only one sign on the road to longa shows the site.

Attention: There is a new container for the old one was stolen. From the coordinates the container is hidden go 10 m in 60 degrees east.

Don't be afraid to visit the site. The site is on private ground but according to the greek laws the visit of ancient sites MUST be granted by the land owner (thats why there is no fence).
