Geocache Description:

This one is for hardcore geocachers...

The plastic container is located at the southern part of Athens, at the top of the hill by the area Varkiza,
having a view of many areas.The coordinates given above are from the road nearby.
The coordinates of the plastic container are given like:
N37 A.B C
E23 D.F

A: This number is the product of G and H. G is the number of the seasons in a year.H is the number of the
months in a year.
B: At the Acropolis hill in Athens, there is a building that was dedicated to the adoration of Athena and Poseidon and
includes the graves of the premogenitors of Athens.If each letter of the alphabet stands for an integer,
then we need the number that you find if you convert the first letter of that building to a number.
C: The last two digits of the year that U2 released their album "Achtung Baby".
D: Divide century in two and abstract 3.
F: x*y+z
x: Days of a normal year.
y: At a marriage, y people become one.
z: Number of the members of the Beatles.

Once you calculate the coordinates and upload them to your GPS unit, you will have to figure out how to approach
the hill.I will not give hints on the approach, because I rate this cache with many stars of diffulty.
Use your imagination and discover your way to climb the hill ! ! !
Personally I hiked up to this place.
The plastic container is hidden with small rocks on top at the side of a bush, west from the top.

Enjoy the view from this place.I am sure you will stay there for at least thirty minutes just to enjoy the gorgeous
view of the surrounding areas at your feet !!!
