This mystery cache used to be the Adventure Lab bonus cache "Hike to Psiloritis D1/T1" with a geofence of 100 km, so it could be completed from far away. In the middle of 2023, Geocaching HQ reduced the maximum distance (geofence) to 500 m for all new and already existing AL. After this change, the AL "Hike to Psiloritis D1/T1" lost its humorous touch, and most of the stages would require a change of terrain from T1 to T4. Therefore we archived this AL and by moving the quiz we changed the former bonus cache to this mystery.
It is not necessary to visit the posted coordinates to find out the final ones. However, there is a place with a small church and a fountain, and if the weather is good, you can even see Psiloritis from this point.
We love going to Crete. Every time we visit, we learn something interesting. We would like to share our hard-earned knowledge with you. And because it's good to study on the go, we've prepared a hike through Mount Psiloritis and this quiz to introduce you to the basic terms. Some of you will find it very easy ;-)
