Petalouda Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Patchwork-Rudel: Actually we were hoping ... but sometimes it's better to give up. Unfortunately, in some places the caches often disappear and it makes no sense to place a cache there. In the summer we will see what goes where and how better. Stay healthy !

Geocache Description:





Petalouda



*

This multi leads you to some beautiful villages in central South Crete. The idea for this multi was born in 2018 together with our good friend kirasiva14. She wrote a book that is set in some of the places of this multis. This book has been sold more than 1000 times. We have been coming to these beautiful locations for several years and wanted to offer enthusiastic cachers the opportunity to see and explore something more than just the usual DriveIns ;-) Enjoy the places and take your time. It's really worth it !

You can work through all stations in a freely chosen order. You only need all solution numbers in the end.
