Geocache Description:

Themokrini cave is near the church of the Virgin Chrysospilliotissa, known locally simply as Panaya.


This area was an important medieval settlement, known as Thermokrini. It disappeared at the end of ottoman occupation. The church is dedicated to a beautiful young girl from Thermokrini village, Christinou tis Themokrinis. The priests daughter she was desired by the ottomans for her beauty, and they wished to give her to there sultan. Rather than dishonour her family and village she killed herself. A traditional song is still sung locally about Christinou. The cache is not at the church but in the cave further down the road.
