Church of St. Ivan over Gradina Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Cenarius: Hi Sharp Hoes,

Unfortunately there's been some continuing issues with this cache and there is no reaction from the owner. Since the cache no longer meets the Guidelines requirements, I am archiving it. I'm also archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you think you have legitimate reasons for lack of maintenance and want to restore the cache in the near future, please let me know as soon as possible by the email provided in my profile. The message must include the GC code and the name of the cache. If the cache meets the requirements of the Guidelines and the reasons for unarchiving are justified, I may unarchive the cache.

IMPORTANT:
In case of permanent archiving of the cache, the owners are obliged to remove everything that they have placed on the field in relation to the cache (container and all placed waypoints).

Thank you for your understanding and best regards.

Geocache Description:

The cache is situated near the Church of St. Ivan built in the 6th century which is located on the east from the town of Vela Luka over the Gradina bay. The Church gained its today´s appearance in the 15th century.

Famous tourist town VELA LUKA with ferry port (Split, Hvar, Uble) located at coast of bay Vela Luka at west part of island. It is the biggest village at island. The chief occupations are agriculture; grow vineyard, olive trees and fruits, processing of fishes, food industry, buildings of ships and tourism. Harbor has international border. Town offer different kind of accommodation and the equipment for sport activations and recreations. Modern spa centre Kalos for rehabilitation is located by bay Kale (with healthy mud).

Famous place for daily trip is island Osjak with protective wooden park.In surrounding is cave Vela Spilja, archeological place from neolith epoch, but Vela Luka is young town.
