Geocache Description:

When Mother Earth feels generous !

So you are in the middle of a lightly covering pine forest, in the middle of July, and weather report said the temperature under shadow will be VERY high ?
Sea is some 20 km away and hotel air condition is not so near... What you do ?
Ok. Follow this directions, it is easy : Stop on the road side, close to the small green metallic shrine. Park your car safely and go to the reference point  N 39 06.551 E026 16.790. Do you feel it ?
Close, there is an opening in the mountain, and the out-coming breeze is 22 degrees Celsius all over the year !
When you feel satisfied, try to find the cache to the given coordinates and return the fastest you can here , to complete your refreshment.
The actual cache is a Bison tube, with only log paper and pencil but, this is the catch to bring you here. It is placed in the right hand rock/wall in a hole, covered with a small stone. At the cache place and just the opening of the entrance are two labels that say in Greek :
YOU MUST OBEY YOUR SUPERVISORS ORDERS, THEY TAKE CARE FOR YOU AND YOUR SAFETY
and
TAKE CARE AND WATCH OUT THE NEW WORKERS,REMEMBER YOUR SELF WHEN FIRST TIME ENTERED THE MINE

That's right! Those are both entrances to a now abandoned and very dangerous to enter mine of  'Leykolithos'. The white stones you can see around are remains of this mineral. After carrying them for a long distance, using wire wagons and hi-raised pylons, those stones where pulverized. That dust was mixed with water and used as the main ingredient of very fine porcelain for high quality dishes and small artistic sculptures.
BE AWARE ONCE AGAIN: DO NOT ENTER IN THE MINES.
They are abandoned for more than 60 years and
NONE
can save you if something goes wrong !
