Geocache Description:

The excurcion to Marathia is one of the best destinations on the Island. You will reach a very famous place . Read the Homeric Epic of Ullysses. Athena send him to the  true  shepherd of the pigs Eumaios. You can find his house still now!


Take the road from Vathy to Marathia. There is no sign in Vathy, you must find the road to the Police Station and  the Hospiral. The small but very nice road goes up  6-7 km passing some touristic appartements in a nice envirement. 

Park your vehicle near the ugly cement house which was built for the telecommunication in 1925. 

You need long trousers, because the area is very prickly.

Follow the small footpath to the ledge above the Korakos Rocks and admire the view.

You will find the cache hidden lefthand in a gap of a wall when you use the two steps for a goatpath in front of you.

Now you follow the path allong the Rocks. You will hear the noise of animals, two friendly dogs, a donkey, some geese and sometimes the shepherd. He looks like Eumaios.
