Geocache Description:

A virtual cache accessible by car no need for a 4WD for this one.

Here is a virtual cache that will take you to an area of great interest that otherwise tourists and locals alike might miss.

The primary goal is to find the item situated at the given co-ordinates. To log your find, message me thru GC.com with the following information that can be found there. Who loves who? And in what years? Finds logged without this information will be deleted.

After finding the cache, you can then go on to look for the Kiti Tower a little way along the coast to the north east. The tower is a stone watch-tower built by the Venetians as part of an early-warning system designed to prevent the invasion of Cyprus by the Turks in the 16th century.

From there find your way back to the village of Kiti, the site of the church of Panagia Angeloktistos (Our Lady Built by Angels) which was rebuilt in the 12th century on a fifth century foundation. Its mosaic of the Virgin and Child accompanied by the Archangels Gabriel and Michael is one of only seven sixth-century Byzantine religious mosaics to survive in the Orthodox world. The workmanship of its tiny squares of coloured and precious stones is outstanding.

Three sights well worth seeing in the space of a couple of miles.
