A cache in the Rouvas Forest. 
Rouvas forest lies on the Southeastern part of the Psiloritis mountain range and consists the most significant of the few natural ecosystems in the Prefecture of Iraklion with an enormous ecological and aesthetic value. The area has an intense anaglyph that creates special micro-environments in the entire forest. It is characterized by the diversity of the landscapes, the high biodiversity, the presence of many endemic animal and plant species of Crete and Greece, rare phytogenic formations, rare and endangered species.
You have several options to arrive here. You can take the road (asphalt at the beginning and dirt later) from the village of Gergeri, the dirt road from Nida plateau or cross the gorge of Rouvas (or Agiou Nikolaou). We did the last one and we really enjoyed it.
At the forest you can find a large picnic area with a lot of tables and benches, fresh drinkable water and a unique place to rest.
The cache is located near the church of Agios Ioannis.
