Geocache Description:

All along this stretch of coast you can catch wonderful sunsets at the right time.
At this point the vessel EDRO 111 ran aground in December 2011. It has now become quite a tourist attraction although those with the permanent view of it may not necessarily agree that it's an attraction!

A report at the time said that the ...

"Sierra Leone-flagged ship Edro III has run aground on a beach along the coast of Paphos, near Agios Georgios sea caves, said police.

As the Albanian-owned cargo vessel was leaving Limassol port on Wednesday December 7th, it ran into mechanical problems and went adrift with its crew of 11 on board.

Rough weather pushed the ship towards the shoreline and it eventually ending up 30 metres away from dry land at around 6pm.

A British Bases helicopter airlifted five Albanian and two Egyptian crew members to Paphos, where they are in a hotel in good health, said a police spokeswoman.

The captain and engineer remained on board, she said.

So far there is no environmental damage from the shipwreck, said marine conservation group Nireas Marine Research."

The cache is a small clip lock box covered in black gaffer tape containing a log, pencil, pen, FTF badge, funky elastic bands, a metal puzzle, 2 magnets, a flip flop key ring, a tape measure, a SPIDER! and a rubber.

Although I do not live in Cyprus, my sister, who does, is going to maintain the cache for me.
