This is our first Cache and we have made it nice and easy to find with the emphasis being on bringing people to this area to enjoy the views. It is located on the Episkopi coast, close to the Ancient Kingdom of Kourion.
The Cache is located in an area which overlooks Zapalo Bay, a small modern day Fishing Boat Harbour and also provides great views of Kourion Beach & Akrotiri Bay. I am informed that Zapalo Bay was once used for the quarrying of gravel during the construction of Limassol and the evidence of this can be seen when looking down on the Harbour from above.
There is no requirement for a 4x4 as the cache is easily accessible by saloon car on a good, solid albeit bumpy stone track. There is a road which leads down to the Harbour but it is unpredictable and the gate has recently been locked due to very large rock fall. If you are feeling energetic the Harbour can be accessed on foot but please proceed with caution and of course stay away from the edges!
Please pay attention to the signage dotted around the cache location and do not approach too close to the edge of the cliffs and as always with Cyprus, please be snake aware.
CONGRATULATIONS!! TO TEAM XG WHO WERE FTF - 23/04/12
