Geocache Description:

A cache near the Roman floor mosaic of Ancient Lappa. bring your own pen please


Park in the main square and take a short walk around what was once called Lappa. There are currently two caches to find along the circular walk with some beautiful buildings, fine churches and a few shops selling locally made linen and avocado products. There are of course a few places to stop for a drink and take a snack too. As you enter the village through the arch there is shop of the left which has some small maps highlighting places of interest along the route.

The cache is a small pill box hidden near the mosaic.

Please note that as the mosaic is covered for protection in the winter, we were unable to get a photograph and would be grateful if someone could load one for us. The cache will still be available during the winter months. ** please note the Cretan Runners no longer live on the island so we ask our fellow cachers to maintain this cache. Should this prove difficult the cache will be archived. Thanks for your help.
