Geocache Description:

This is a cache to just relax in a peaceful landscape with a good wiew over the northern coast from Apokoronas to the Rethimno areas, and with the Krioneritis top to the south

wiew from the cache:


The cache is placed on the ridge between the Poros and Moundros gorges, called Nisi (island). The E4 path from Kato Poros to Velonado is passing here. The Poros Gorge is on the western side and the Moundros gorge on the eastern side - both of them E4 marked.
This is one of our favourite areas with gorges to walk, small villages and hamlets, old kalderimia, small tavernas and kind people to meet and not far from our Cretan place. The stony landscape with steep sides, peaks and river vallies with relaxing green plains, remind us also of our native landscapes.
The cache is a small Lock&Lock box with place for pencil, logbook and a little trading stuff.

How to find the the cache:

Driving to Kato Poros from Rethymno, take the New National Road westwards until the signpost for Episkopi by the beach of Petres. Follow the road and drive around Episkopi and against Argiroupoli. 1. km. before Argiroupoli, the sign posted road to Kato Poros is forking to the left (N35 17.574 E24 20.284). Follow the road and park just before entering the village (N35 17.339 E24 20.912). Here you can walk the little road heading to the left and a little later to the right down to a small brigde crossing the river from the Poros Gorge. (This part it is also possible to drive). The farmers road up to is very steep, narrow and rather bad many places, so walking is recommended.

This cache can be combined with others caches in the area: Kato Poros kalderimi, Poros Gorge, Ano Nisi, Five Virgins and Hanging out.
