Geocache Description:

This is cache that is hidden in the most beautiful island in the Aegean. A forest of pine trees is all around the site. Stop and take in the scenery and the smell of nature. It is unforgettable.

Nearby is the monastery Theoktistis that is famous for its unique chapel. The monastery is not occupied, but you will find a woman, who will go to the church with you and tells you something about the history of the monastery and the great frescoes inside the church. Afterward try the loukoumades made in the monastery. They are to die for!

The cache is a tupperware container and contains a key chain flashlight, two Greek stamps, one American quarter a Virgin Atlantic rubber duck, a logbook and a pencil. The GPS readings may be a little erratic due to the tree cover.

Small note on cache maintenance: I own a family house on the island and go back during the summer for three months as well as short visits through out the year.
