Traditional cache placed at the summit of mountain Ypato(740m) where Monastery Sagmata is located
Traditional cache placed at the summit of mountain Ypato(740m) where Monastery Sagmata is located.
The view is quite beautiful and you can see a very panoramic view of Thiva's fields, Thiva town and other small villages(Ypato, Mouriki, Erythres, Plataies etc).
In order to find the way to the summit you must pass through the village Ypato(aka Sirtzi 12km from town Thiva) and from there you can take the unpaved road(~6km average condition of road) following the signs for Monastery Sagmata.
At the entry of the monastery there is a gate and if it is closed you can open it and pass with your car(remember to close it after, as the sign on the gate says).
You can park at the monastery yard and you can walk south where is a church and some stone benches. From there you can see the panoramic view of Thiva's fields, Yliki lake and many more.
At the leftest side of the fence there is a path with stairs which goes down and leads to the cache, and if you follow it to the end it leads to a small "cave" where Saint Klimis used to live.
The cache is a regular size plastic container with a log book and some toys for trading. Be careful not to be seen by other visitors and try to hide the cache as it was before.
Hope you will enjoy it and sorry for my poor English.
