Makrylia
Makrylia is a small village, 7 km to the north of Ierapetra, at an altitude of 212 m. According to tradition, the village took its name from a large olive tree. It produced at least 10 sacks of olives and it provoked admiration by its size, and mostly by its height (Makrylia meaning tall olive tree). The village is old and traditional, with original Cretan style houses that have remained untouched over the time, in a beautiful and healthy environment, with a view of the overgrown with olive trees plain, with a rich history and hospitable residents.(source intercriti.org)
Near the cache you will find a picknick area surrounded by hills consisting of soft clay, which due to time erosion, have turned them to wonderful conical shapes. At the other side of the road you will find an old stone bridge.
