Geocache Description:


This cache will bring you to a Medieval Fort (Observation Post) in Kato Pyrgos. From what we can research, the name Kato Pyrgos originates from the local dialect word “troulli”, which describes a small, Venetian era, observation and signalling tower. “Troulli” stands for small tower or “Pyrgos” – the Greek word for tower - and thus the name of the village became “Kato Pyrgos” (Lower – Tower). 

We were lucky enough to come here with a picnic and had the place to ourselves so we could enjoy the views out to sea and for miles around.

We came unprepared to place a hide in this beautiful spot but couldn't leave without doing so. As such, you're looking for a white chewing gum pot with some paper inside - bring a pen! 

You'll need to climb the steps up to the top of this one - approximately 50 in total. There's running water at the bottom so you can throw this over your head to cool yourself after you climb back down!

No disturbance of the ancient monument is required.
