Geocache Description:


Mount Ida, known variously as Idha, Ídhi, Idi, Ita. In Crete is called Psiloritis (Greek: Ψηλορείτης) the mountain range as a whole and the summit Ida (Greek: Ἴδα), at 2,456 m (8,057 feet), is the highest mountain on Crete. Located in the Rethymno regional unit, it was sacred to the Greek Titaness Rhea, and on its slopes lies one of the caves, Idaion Antron, in which, according to legend, Zeus was born. Its summit Ida has the highest topographic prominence in Greece. A natural park which includes Mt. Ida is a member of UNESCO's Global Geoparks Network.

At the top of Psiloritis you can find the cache "zeus E4 CTC" (GC944C). Direcly besides the hiking trail, about 300m before the sumit a small hill can be found - I call it "pre summit". Here a lot of goats are taking a rest.


This cache is located at this hill in a crevice looking into the summit of Psiloritis under an overhang of grey stones, hidden by a lot of stones I found there. This crevice seems to be the favorite place for some of the goats but fortunately they are very shy and will not stop you when searching this cache. I placed two containers, each with a logbook at the final location to ensure that this cache might live quite long...
