Geocache Description:


This multi takes you to the lighthouse on the Xyli Peninsula. It is not a very difficult hike, but sturdy footwear are strongly recommended. In the summer months when it is very hot, it is advisable to undertake this hike only in the morning hours. And take enough water or other beverages with you. 

The calculation is deliberately kept simple so that the focus is on the hike. For experienced hikers, the whole hike (round trip) should be done in less than 2 hours.

For the final you need 2 variables, which can be found very close to the trailhead: A is the number of the trail (just use the number) and B is the time in minutes on the white sign above the yellow triangle (for example if 3:15 h says on the board, take 195 for B).

 

Calculation formula: N 36° 39.XXX / E 022° 49.YYY

XXX = 4xB + 1xA - 50

YYY = 3xB + 10xA + 32

 

Cache maintenance

I'm in Greece several times a year myself and, furthermore, papalia and stathismavro have agreed to support me, if necessary, in the maintenance of this cache (many thanks at this point!).
