During this quest you will see some of the nicest points of the beautyful Corfu island! Total length is about 60km. It is possible for die-hards to find the cache in one day, you also can spread it over two or three days if you prefer. Because most of the roads are pretty good, you can use a scooter for finding the cache. Hunting by car/jeep is also possible. When seeking for our cache you will get close to the Ouzo2 cache by …… perhaps you can combine seeking these two caches. We would appreciate it if you make a lot of pictures for us.
Happy hunting!
