Geocache Description:

This cache is overlooking the village of Pyrgos.

There are many ways upto this cache but the easiest is as you approach Pyrgos from the coast to take the first left about 200m after you pass the Kanata Taverna at a sign "Morris Lubricants". You can either park you car at the bottom of the hill or for those of you who are not that fit, you take the car up the main part of the hill.
There are goat tracks / hunter tracks through the local vegetation and a few rocks to climb up. Wear good walking shoes and bring water with you.
Once you have found the cache, you can make your way down an alternative way. Look out for local wildlife, Butterflies, Dragonflies, Lizards, Wild phesants and partridge, the odd goat and of course be careful of snakes.
The cache is a tuperware box with some goodies, so be sure to bring something else along.
Why not go into the village afterwards for a cool drink.
We have Pyrgos Park where you maybe lucky to find a wedding or local event taking place. The local community centre just completed this year, where Andreas or his wife Androula will serve you a cold beer or visit one of the local coffee shops in the heart of the village.
Although there is a lot of development going on in the village, the village is still very rural. We often help out the locals at one of the farms for an hour or so and are rewarded with plenty of fresh vegetables/fruit for our labours. We are a very intergrated community.

The cache is at a great spot to watch the sunrise.
For those of you who aren't greek speaking, try and find out what the name of the cache means.
