Asprovalta is a very nice little Town at the strymonian gulf in central makedonia. This region near the half-peninsula chalkidiki is not only well known for its amazing coastline, but also for some famous ancient people. Because it´s still cache-free, I decided to put here now the first Cache in Asprovalta.
We will make a little trip through the town with start, one stopover and the final.
The route is about 3km oneway. We start certainly at the Alexander-the-Great-monument in the town-centre near the beach at the homonymous square. Here you can see the silouette of the great conqueror made of steel. For more informations about Alexander-the-great visit:

Station 1:
A:On Which Year was the Monument build? (The last Number)
B:A-2
C:How many letters hast the Name "Alexander"?
D:The Month when the Monument was build -3
E:Number of the letters of the first word in the headline -5
F:How many pictures are shown on the panel?
N 40°43.ABC, E 23°42.DEF
Here you arrive at a natural public Park. Feel free to visit the park, but its not important to find the final. But its free and lovely to see. We start on the left corner of the entry at the calculated coordinates from Stage 1.
Task for the final Stage:
Because of the destroyed panel at Stage 2 make now a bearing to the Final:
You will find the cache in 347 Meters, at 41°
If you are lucky you can meet at the final location another Alexander (yes its me). I come here frequently in the year for holyday-vacation. But if its only my father there, he will also know what you are looking for. So don´t be shy and investigate everything.
Good luck and happy hunting!
Small note on cache maintenance: There is a local cache guardian. Name and contact info on file with geocaching.com.
