Geocache Description:

The idea behind this cache was to create one for Geo Cachers who likes to combine searching caches with swimming or snorkeling and hiking. This tour starts in Skinias and ends at the Vlichadhia beach. If you only like to take a short walk you can drive directly to parking area 2.

How to find the way to start the tour to cache area?
Coming from Iraklion take the National Road E 75 direction Agios Nikolaos take the exit at Neapoli to the Old Road. Follow the way to Kastelli, Fourni, Karidhi to Skinias. For the walk in the riverbed (we needed about 1 hour and 45 minutes) park here at waypoint1. Details see Website with many impressive views. Near the beach a moderate climb is needed to find the cache.
We don´t recommend to do this walk in winter times because we have no experience whether the riverbed in winter is dry enough for walking.
We did this tour with 2 cars and placed one at waypoint 1and one at waypoint 2.
If you like to do a short walk follow the road down to Vlichadia by car and park at waypoint 2. From here it is easy to find the way down to the beach.

The Cache:
The cache is a small one with a logbook, pencil, sharpener and something to trade. Additional we put in a TB. We think it is easy to find.
Enjoy walking and the view at the beach.

Have fun and good luck!
