The cache itself is in a relatively good condition. The bad thing is the coffee box is pretty rusty inside, so you gotta be careful when putting your hand in it. Also, the plastic cover had a few cuts and, as a result, it doesn't fit the box as firmly as you'd want it to.

Finally, I placed a second pencil with a sharper nose, since I found it difficult to write with the one that was already in there (probably after being used many times).

<groundspeak:long_description html="False">If you have never been to Alsos Syggrou, you are in for a treat. You wouldn't imagine that such an area could exist in Athens. The forest is directly on Kifissias Avenue, with bus lines making stops right outside it, or 10 minutes on foot from the Marousi Metro station. It is a favorite spot for walking the dogs, jogging, bicycling etc. The park is open during the day, from dawn to dusk. There is some parking available on Kifissias avenue outside the park gates.

Make your best way to the cache coordinates. You will find a dirt N-S path; there is a hydrant on the west side of the path, and a tall pine tree with a green 5 painted on it on the east side of the path. To the left of the pine there is a cascade of ivy leaves. The pine and the cascade of leaves mark an opening in the bushes, where the box is located. The box contains a ziploc bag with a geocaching declaration in English and Greek, logbook and pen, and another ziploc bag for the trade items. The box dimensions are 17cm x 12 cm x 5cm, plan your items accordingly! There is a bit of walking through bushes to reach the cache, closed shoes and long pants are recommended although not necessary.</groundspeak:long_description>

|
|
153
|
+
<groundspeak:long_description html="False">This cache is hidden at the site of the battle of Thermopylae (480 BC). The best way to find it is to climb on the Kolonos hill. You will reach a memorial plaque there; the ancient greek on the inscription translates:
|
|
154
|
+
|
|
155
|
+
"Friend, go tell the Spartans that we lie here in obedience to their laws"
|
|
156
|
+
|
|
157
|
+
On the opposite site of the highway, you will see the statue of Leonidas and the monument to the 300 Spartans, and, to the west, the monument to the 700 Thespians.
|
|
158
|
+
|
|
159
|
+
Keep walking on the path. You will have some growth to deal with but you can follow the path and/or your GPS to the cache coordinates. The cache is hidden under a bush that stands alone, and is a tupper container wrapped up in a plastic bag.
|
|
160
|
+
|
|
161
|
+
On the history of the place:
|
|
162
|
+
|
|
163
|
+
In 480 BC, Xerxes led the Persians and invaded Greece. The Spartan king Leonidas, in charge of 7000 Greeks, was ordered to cut the advance of the Persian army at Thermopylae (in central Greece), a narrow strip of land between the sea and impassable mountains. The Persian army, 250,000 strong, attacked twice and was forced to retreat, due to the fact that the passage was so narrow that they could not fully deploy their force. However, an avaricious local farmer, Ephialtes, led a force of Persian infantry through a mountain passage and next morning they appeared behind the Greek lines. Leonidas ordered the rest of the army withdraw, and held the passage with 300 Spartans. An additional 700 Thespian warriors refused to obey and stayed behind as well. As a true Spartan, Leonidas chose death over retreat; all 300 Spartans, including Leonidas, died, but held the Persians long enough to ensure the safe withdrawal of the rest of the Greek army.
|
|
164
|
+
|
|
165
|
+
At the time of the battle of Thermopylae, this was a very narrow strip of land between the sea and steep mountains (where the cache is), but since then, alluvial deposits from the nearby river Spercheios have created an extensive plain. The name of the place, Thermopylae or Gates of Fire, derives from the fact that it was a narrow passage, and had hot water springs, which are still there. There is a hot stream flowing through, keeping its hot temperature (and sulphurous smell) even in winter. The stream (a few minutes walk to the west of the Kolonos hill) and the statue of Leonidas across the highway are definitely worth a visit!</groundspeak:long_description>

The cache itself is in a pretty good condition. The only thing I'm worried about is the plastic bag used to wrap it; it probably needs replacement since it has many holes. My guess is the bag won't do anything when heavy rainfall starts in the fall. Sadly, I didn't have a spare plastic bag with me. :(

Kastro is a village of Voiotia, near Orchomenos and Levadia.It is located at the field of Kopaida that once was a huge lake, but at the 40s it was turned into fields that until today they are very productive for the people who own them.The area produces cotton, wheat and tobacco.At the years of the lake, Kastro was a small island.Today you can see a small church at the highest point of the village.
|
|
221
|

|
|
222
|

At this intersection you can leave the national highway and head west to Orchomenos and Levadia.
|

|

|
|
224
|

Please remember to have with you a pen or pencil because there is no pencil inside the film canister.

Sadly, the cache was wet both outside and inside, and so was the log book. :-( We did sign it, but it probably needs replacement or to get dry... There was no pencil inside either.

<groundspeak:short_description html="True">The Vikos Gorge lies in the North Pindus Mountains in the historic
|
|
321
|
+
area of Epirus, 30 odd kilometers north of Ioannina. The area,
|
|
322
|
+
called the Zagori, has 44 villages called the
|
|
323
|
+
Zagorohoria.</groundspeak:short_description>
|
|
324
|
+
<groundspeak:long_description html="True">Vikos Gorge is 10 Km long and has vertical and rocky slopes that
|
|
325
|
+
are many hundreds of meter high. The gorge streches out from the
|
|
326
|
+
village of Monodendri to the village of Vikos. We strongly suggest
|
|
327
|
+
that you visit as many villages of Zagori as you can, do some
|
|
328
|
+
hicking in the gorge, taste local traditional food and sweets. One
|
|
329
|
+
of the most popoular villages of Zagori is Monodendri, on the rim
|
|
330
|
+
of the gorge near the south end. Monodendri is a good spot for
|
|
331
|
+
those who want to hike the entire gorge as well as view the famous
|
|
332
|
+
stone arched bridges over the river below the gorge. It's a
|
|
333
|
+
restored stone village of walled stone courtyards with
|
|
334
|
+
fortress-like gates. The abandoned Monastery of Agia Paraskevi is
|
|
335
|
+
nearly a kilometer down the new kalderimi from the lower platia in
|
|
336
|
+
Monodendri and makes a nice limber-up after a long bus or car
|
|
337
|
+
journey. The view up and down the gorge are the perfect
|
|
338
|
+
introduction to the hike ahead. Continuing around the corner of the
|
|
339
|
+
cliff is the "Megali Spilia", a caved reached by a narrow path with
|
|
340
|
+
a scary drop-off for those who enjoy heights. In order to get to
|
|
341
|
+
the cache From Monodendri,walk to the abandoned Monastery of Agia
|
|
342
|
+
Paraskevi (600m). Pass through the monastery, follow the stairs and
|
|
343
|
+
go on according to the sign : "Grand Cave-Spitakia-Old bridges".
|
|
344
|
+
The path starts there. !!!!Please walk carefully on the path!!! If
|
|
345
|
+
you are afraid of hights maybe this is not a good idea!!!!
|
|
346
|
+
.................... Note: Sometimes durring winter the path is
|
|
347
|
+
covered with snow and the cache may be not accesible! P.S Greek
|
|
348
|
+
geocachers we have our own site now so take a look here too!!!!

To go for the cache, I had to face my fears and walk through the narrow path. It was a bit dangerous in some spots, especially where the rock is, since the path was covered with snow and ice.

<groundspeak:short_description html="True">Ioannina is the largest town in Epirus and the capital of the

457
|

region. The town is located along the shores on the lake, known in

|
458
|

ancient times as Pamvotis which is renowned for the beauty of its
|
|
459
|

natural surroundings.</groundspeak:short_description>

<groundspeak:long_description html="True">In Ioannina you can still walk on cobblestone streets, where
|
|
461
|
+
Oriental designs meet the Neo-clasical architecture, you can turn a
|
|
462
|
+
corner and find yourself transfered from a typical 20th centrury
|
|
463
|
+
commercial centre to a Middle Eastern bazzar. It is here that even
|
|
464
|
+
today Oriental and Greek culture are still interlinked. The castle
|
|
465
|
+
of Ioannina is one of the oldest castles built on Justinian
|
|
466
|
+
(Byzantine emperor) in 528. The cache is a plastic container in
|
|
467
|

witch we have placed a log book, a pen, a chinese coin for good
|

468

luck, and some other items................................ P.S

<groundspeak:short_description html="True">A Sudoku puzzle cache in Dasos Syggrou.</groundspeak:short_description>
|

529
|
+
<groundspeak:long_description html="True"><p>The coordinates given are not the actual coordinates of the
|
|
530
|
+
cache, but of an entrance (with some parking) to Dasos Syggrou,
|
|
531
|
+
where the cache is located. Dasos Syggrou is a lovely small forest
|
|
532
|
+
to the north of Athens, very close to the Marousi Metro station.
|
|
533
|
+
Entrance is free, but it closes down at sunset. It is an ideal
|
|
534
|
+
place to walk (alone or with the dog), jog, etc.</p>
|
|
535
|
+
<p>To find the actual coordinates, you will need to solve this
|
|
536
|
+
Sudoku puzzle. The standard Sudoku rules apply: You must fill the
|
|
537
|
+
boxes with the digits 1-9, and each digit must appear exactly once
|
|
538
|
+
in every horizontal row, vertical column, and block of 9 boxes.</p>

|
|
541
|

|
|
542
|
+
<p>The cache coordinates are:</p>
|
|
543
|
+
<p>N 38° 0(H1).(C2)(G4)(F6)</p>
|
|
544
|
+
<p>E 23° (A3)(I9).(A7)(E9)(C7)</p>
|
|
545
|
+
<p>The cache difficulty rating of 2* reflects the difficulty of the
|
|
546
|
+
Sudoku puzzle (medium).</p>
|
|
547
|
+
<p>The cache is a tupper container hidden under a tree, behind a
|
|
548
|
+
small fallen log. It is in a plastic bag and is covered with a
|
|
549
|
+
couple of rocks.</p>

Im Oktober 2006 machte ich mit meiner Frau seit langem mal wieder
|
|
660
|
+
eine gemeinsame Griechenland Tour.<br>
|
|
661
|
+
Das nahm ich zum Anlass, meine/unsere ersten Caches zu verstecken,
|
|
662
|
+
nachdem ich auch meinen ersten Cache<br>
|
|
663
|
+
im Mai 2005 in Griechenland gesucht und gefunden habe
|
|
664
|
+
(Bourtzi-Castle bei Nafplion).<br>

In October 2006 I made a common Greece tour with my wife since a
|
|
667
|
+
long time again.<br>
|
|
668
|
+
I took that to the cause to hide my/our first Cache after I
|
|
669
|
+
searched and found my<br>
|
|
670
|
+
first Cache in May 2005 in Greece (Bourtzi Castle in Nafplion).<br>

Chalkida is linked to the mainland by an old-fashioned swing bridge

and a modern suspended bridge, which is part of the motorway from

|
|
837
|
+
on it from one end to another to find it.The cache is about 700m
|
|
838
|
+
(one way) from the <u>given coordinates where is the Parking
|
|
839
|
+
Area,</u> from the site of Voiotia. In the parking area exists a
|

840

statue of a very known doctor to the whole world with a sign where
|
|
841
|
+
is engraved the years that he lived.<br />
|
|
842
|
+
To found the coordinates of the cache you have to count how many
|
|
843
|
+
wire ropes have the bridge from one side. Then multiply the year of
|
|
844
|
+
the birth that there is on the statue sign by the number of the

845
|
+
wire ropes and subtract from the result the number

|
846
|
+
<b><i><font color="#FF0000">108692.</font></i></b><br />
|
|
847
|
+
Divide the result by 1000 and this will give you the minutes and
|
|
848
|
+
the fraction of the minutes of the North coordinates. The degrees
|
|
849
|

for the north and the east coordinates of the cache, are the same
|
|
850
|
+
as the degrees in the parking area.<br />
|
|
851
|
+
For the east coordinates multiply the year of the death that there
|
|
852
|
+
is on the statue sign by the number of the wire ropes and subtract
|
|
853
|
+
from the result the number

It took me three visits: one to scout the area and record the years on the statue, one to count the wires (during which my N810 ran out of battery so I didn't have a GPSr) and a last one to find it using my newly-bought GPSr.

The cache itself is in a pretty poor condition. Almost everything in it is completely rusty and it's apparent that the log has been wet during the past (probably due to rainfall). Since the plastic wrapper bag had a hole on it, I wrapped the cache with a new (inner) ziplog bag, so hopefully it will remain as-is. IMHO, it probably needs maintenance/replacement, and maybe a move to a new spot since this one makes it kinda awkward to search without raising suspicions.

<groundspeak:short_description html="False">The cache is located under the castle "Castello Rosso" that overlooks the city of Karystos in South Evia (or Euboea).</groundspeak:short_description>
|
|
1115
|
+
<groundspeak:long_description html="False">Karystos is the most southern city in Evia, located in a gulf. On the side of the Ochi mountain above Karystos, about 3km from the city, are the ruins of an old medieval castle called Castello Rosso (Red Castle). The cache is located in a patch of pine trees exactly under the castle, overlooking the city of Karystos and the gulf!
|
|
1116
|
+
|
|
1117
|
+
There is a road from Karystos that goes to the castle, passing through the village of Myloi.
|
|
1118
|
+
Then following the trail under the castle, you have to get into the pine trees and search for it!
|
|
1119
|
+
|
|
1120
|
+
If you dont have a GPS unit with high sensitivity receiver, may be you will have reception problems under the trees!
|
|
1121
|
+
|
|
1122
|
+
You can drive there, or even walk from the city!
|
|
1123
|
+
Visit the castle, and enjoy the magnificent view!
|
|
1124
|
+
|
|
1125
|
+
The easiest way to go to Karystos from Athens is through the ferry from Rafina port to the port of Marmari, which is a 15 minute drive from Karystos.
|
|
1126
|
+
|
|
1127
|
+
The cache is a plastic tupperware-style container.
|
|
1128
|
+
In the cache you can find the logbook to log your visit, few trading items and two travel bugs for start!
|
|
1129
|
+
|
|
1130
|
+
Enjoy Karystos!
|
|
1131
|
+
There are many great places around you can visit if you like!
|
|
1132
|
+
Like to climb on the top of mountain Ochi and visit the ancient mysterious "Drakospito" (Dragon house), or hike through the gorge of Dimosaris!
|
|
1133
|
+
The area has many great unspoiled sights! and is very close to Athens!</groundspeak:long_description>

25 square Km. It is one the three main water reservoirs of Athens.
|
|
1192
|

At the age of Homer's was said Kifissida. Near the lake were built

1193
|

the cities of Ili and Akreoria. Alse near there existed a big

temple of Apollo. To follow the stages of this cache you have to

visit the ruins of the ancient temple, a nearby nice little country
|
|
1196
|

orthodox church with olds frescoes, a point with scenic view to the
|
|
1197

lake and at the end to go near the lake. All the stages are near

<groundspeak:text encoded="False">Together with gtarl, we set out to find this cache on this beautiful day! Once we arrived at the church (which was pretty easy to find), we were startled to see that it was no longer white! The church has been restored and the exterior white paint has been removed, revealing the original stone! After careful observation, we realized that the numbers were still there, they were just hard to make out -- especially the last digit. Combining the first three numbers with some maths (hint: the fact that there's an integer division can help you determine which is the last digit), we were able to come up with the correct coordinates and set out to find the film canister, which turned out to be easy. Strangely enough, the film canister in stage 1 contained the North coordinates for the final spot and the East coordinates for the footpath (contrary to what the cache listing suggests). We found the coordinates of stage 2 easily, but after searching for over 1 hour, we decided to call it a day since it was getting dark. I'm wondering whether the film canister for stage 2 is missing or we got the coordinates wrong (maybe misinterpreted stage 2?), because where my GPS pointed us, there was no good place to hide the canister (certainly far away from bushes as a previous geocacher described).

|
1255
|

|

1256

Anyway, we may give this another try at some point in the future. :-)

P.S. There's a reason the place is full of signs for Pelagia -- it is a monastery in the area and it has nothing to do with the church.</groundspeak:text>

<groundspeak:text encoded="False">I decided to give this another try today, while on my way to Ioannina. I found the second film canister after getting some help from Yannisp regarding its exact location during the Greek Geocaching Event 2009. I had to walk for 20 minutes to get to the final location of the cache, because part of the unpaved road seemed a bit too much for my car. Once I was in the cache area, I found it almost immediately by following the hint.
|
|
1265
|
+
|
|
1266
|

I highly recommend going for this cache; it was a lot of fun visiting all the spots. It might be a good idea to do this only during the winter though. I can imagine there will be a lot of snakes otherwise.

|
|
1314
|
+
a hill of the Boeotian coast, called Fourka. It occupies a
|
|
1315
|
+
strategic position, overlooking the straits of Euripos and the town
|
|
1316
|
+
of Chalkis. The castle now seen was probably built by the Turks in
|
|
1317
|
+
1684 in order to protect Chalkis from the Venetians. It was
|
|
1318
|
+
designed by the Venetian Gerolimo Galopo and its architectural form
|
|
1319
|
+
is more European than Turkish in character. The fortress was
|
|
1320
|
+
unsuccessfully sieged by the Venetians of Morozini in 1688 and the
|
|
1321
|
+
Turks managed to keep it until the Greek liberation when they gave
|
|
1322
|
+
it over to the Greek state.<br />
|
|
1323
|
+
This easy to find cache is in a hole of the wall into the castle
|
|
1324
|
+
where the entrance is free. The difficulty to find the cache is to
|
|
1325
|
+
avoid the many muggles that visit the castle. Sunday and holidays,
|
|
1326
|
+
especially at sunset are not the right days for hunting this
|
|
1327
|
+
cache.<br /></font>

The second time was today. I searched around the spot but couldn't find anything. Near the spot (according to my GPS) I saw a bush and a hole beneath it with a big stone but there was nothing inside (it's as if something was missing). Next to the bush I also saw 2-3 small rocks. Is there a chance the cache is missing? I'm attaching a photo.

The castle of Parga was built by the Venetians, when they took over
|
|
1557
|
+
the protection of the city, after a treaty in 1401. The period of
|
|
1558
|
+
the Venetian administration was interrupted by the Ottoman
|
|
1559
|
+
occupation 1452-1454. The castle and the houses in its interior
|
|
1560
|
+
were destroyed by Hariedin Barbarossa in 1537. That event led to
|
|
1561
|
+
the construction of a new, stronger fortress by the Venetians in
|
|
1562
|
+
1567. The destruction of the castle once again by the Ottoman fleet
|
|
1563
|
+
in 1571 led to its final rebuilding in 1572. <br />
|
|
1564
|
+
<br />
|
|
1565
|
+
You can find more information of the history of the castle in the
|
|
1566
|
+
café inside the castle.<br />

<groundspeak:long_description html="True"><p>Karystos is an ancient city that is said to have been built by
|
|
1623
|
+
the Dryopes in the shade of the Ohi mountain, and within the famous
|
|
1624
|
+
cape of "Kavo D’Oro".<br />
|
|
1625
|
+
Located at a distance of 128km from the town of Halkida, Karystos
|
|
1626
|
+
is the southern Evia port. This charming and very picturesque town
|
|
1627
|
+
has been known since the ancient years, and has a very interest and
|
|
1628
|
+
rich history, with many monuments showing the power and importance
|
|
1629
|
+
of Karystos during the history of Greece.</p>
|
|
1630
|
+
<p>It is a very modern town, offering visitors all of the expected
|
|
1631
|
+
comforts and services, and also has many interesting sites and
|
|
1632
|
+
places where you can enjoy both fun and relaxing moments.</p>
|
|
1633
|
+
The town combines perfectly the sea and mountains, creating a very
|
|
1634
|
+
unique and charming environment. With the many mineral spring
|
|
1635
|
+
fountains, rich and luschious vegetation, crystal clear waters and
|
|
1636
|
+
lovely sandy beaches, it provides the perfect setting in which to
|
|
1637
|
+
escape from the stress and noise of city life, and is a place where
|
|
1638
|
+
you can easily unwind.
|
|
1639
|
+
<p>To find this cache you have to go at the plane-clad village of
|
|
1640
|
+
Platanistos, which lies 25 km east of Karystos. It is traversed by
|
|
1641
|
+
a beautiful mountain stream, 7 km long, all the year round. The
|
|
1642
|
+
stream rises in the gorge of Epanochori, a settlement situated
|
|
1643
|
+
about 2 km from Platanistos, and empties into Potami Beach on the
|
|
1644
|
+
eastern coasts of South Euboea (Evia). There find the given
|
|
1645
|
+
coordinates (38 01.530N, 24 30.519E) where there is a plane tree
|
|
1646
|
+
and onto its trunk there is engraved a geocaching sign.</p>

<p>Of course you can go to search to the above three places without
|
|
1661
|
+
visiting Platanistos but you will lose the opportunity to visit a
|
|
1662
|
+
really nice place and you will have the doubt to search in the
|
|
1663
|
+
wrong place.</p>

|

<p>Have fun.</p>

<groundspeak:text encoded="False">We initially decided to visit the 3 spots instead of going straight to Platanistos village, but without any luck. So in the end, we (thankfully) had to go to the village to see what the symbol is and determine which is the right spot. The place there is truly amazing... I highly recommend to anyone going for this cache, to make this relatively short trip -- it is worth it! After we found the right spot, finding the cache was relatively easy, having read the spoiler.

<p align="left">The beautiful lake of Ziros is located 4.5 km from
|
|
1734
|
+
the town of Filipiada. You can reach the lake by your car (until
|
|
1735
|
+
the lake shore), as there's a forest road along the south bank of
|
|
1736
|
+
the lake. The name Ziros has a Slavic origin. It derives from the
|
|
1737
|
+
word 'Ozeros' which means lake.<br />
|
|
1738
|
+
The lake extents in 420.000 square meters and is surrounded by
|
|
1739
|
+
luxuriant vegetation with many kind of trees and other plants. The
|
|
1740
|
+
lake is a unique water biotope, untouched by the human activity,
|
|
1741
|
+
(almost !!!). Naturally and here you will meet the love of Greek
|
|
1742
|
+
people for the plastic bottles and the waste that you can find
|
|
1743
|
+
everywhere flown around you, fortunately at the beginning of the
|
|
1744
|
+
paths as they don't go far away from the cafeteria that is in side
|
|
1745
|
+
in the beginning of the lake. It is a good occasion to practice
|
|
1746
|
+
CITO.</p>
|
|
1747
|
+
<p align="left">Overlooking this you can go ahead to the paths and
|
|
1748
|
+
you will discover all the beauty of the area.</p>
|
|
1749
|
+
<p align="left">The cache is a plastic tupperware somewhere on the
|
|
1750
|
+
hills arround the lake and contain a cache declaration, a logbook,
|
|
1751
|
+
some trinket for trade and an FTF Award with a nice geocaching pin,
|
|
1752
|
+
gift for the first finder.</p>

Epirus province. Arta is famous for its old stone bridge. The
|
|
1832

Bridge of Arta is a stone bridge that crosses the Arachthos river

1833
|

and became famous from an legendary folk ballad.</groundspeak:short_description>

<groundspeak:long_description html="True">According to the folk ballad every day 1300 builders, 60
|
|
1835
|
+
apprentices, 45 craftsmen or masons, under the leadership of the
|
|
1836
|
+
Head Builder, tried to build a bridge the foundations of which
|
|
1837
|
+
would collapse each morning. Finally a bird with a human voice
|
|
1838
|
+
informed the Head Builder that in order for the bridge to remain
|
|
1839
|
+
standing, he must sacrifice his wife. As the wife is being killed,
|
|
1840
|
+
being built in the foundations of the construction, she utters
|
|
1841
|
+
curses that conclude with blessings. More infos about the bridge

|
|
1986
|
+
left the area for go to Parga where another crypt was in our
|
|
1987
|

hunting plans. We thought that with a half an hour walk on the path
|
|
1988
|

over the river and the view of the gorge we had seen all the things

1989
|

saw the sources of the river where spring out big quantities of

water through the ground. We discovered a splendid space of

<groundspeak:long_description html="True">History of Parga
|
|
2089
|
+
<p>View on Panagias island from the Venetian castleAt the time of
|
|
2090
|
+
Plutarch and Ptolemy , Parga was called Toryni and was located on
|
|
2091
|
+
the site of what is today the Old City. In antiquity, under the
|
|
2092
|
+
name of Elaia, it served as a seaport for Epirus and enjoyed
|
|
2093
|
+
economic prosperity and cultural influence.</p>
|
|
2094
|
+
<p>On account of its exceptional location Parga was always occupied
|
|
2095
|
+
from Mycenian times until it became Greek. Its existence is
|
|
2096
|
+
mentioned for the first time in 1320 during transactions between
|
|
2097
|
+
the Venetians and the Despotate of Romania.</p>
|
|
2098
|
+
<p>The city and its fortress were, at one point, under the
|
|
2099
|
+
protection of the Normans but when they abandoned it, it was
|
|
2100
|
+
subjected to constant raids and had to ask the Venetians for their
|
|
2101
|
+
assistance. Thus, in 1401 a treaty was signed in Corfu between
|
|
2102
|
+
Baylo Azarino and a delegation of citizens from Parga. This treaty
|
|
2103
|
+
lasted for four hundred years and proved very beneficial. Protected
|
|
2104
|
+
by the Venetians, the city was run by a Patrician Assembly and a
|
|
2105
|
+
governor. In the course of those four centuries the city suffered
|
|
2106
|
+
from many but short periods of upheavals. It was besieged,
|
|
2107
|
+
conquered, looted many times and its fortress destroyed. The
|
|
2108
|
+
Venetian castleIn 1571, the Venetians recaptured Parga and made it
|
|
2109
|
+
into the most important seaport of Epirus. From this date until
|
|
2110
|
+
1819 the city managed to remain free, grew and became prosperous
|
|
2111
|
+
thanks to its shipping trade in the region and beyond.It still
|
|
2112
|
+
faced Ottoman attacks but they always failed.</p>
|
|
2113
|
+
<p>In 1718, with the treaty of Pasarovitz Parga is once more under
|
|
2114
|
+
the protection of the Venetians and became a haven and a supply
|
|
2115
|
+
center for the fugitives of the Greek revolution opposed to the
|
|
2116
|
+
Turkish invaders.This rôle enraged Ali Pasha who tried to conquer
|
|
2117
|
+
the city by all possible means but without success. Later, in 1797
|
|
2118
|
+
with the treaty of Campo Formio, France, the most powerful country
|
|
2119
|
+
at the time, became the new protector of Parga. When Ali Pasha
|
|
2120
|
+
launched another attack against Parga, the city requested the
|
|
2121
|
+
assistance of the Russian navy and fell under the protection of a
|
|
2122
|
+
Russo-Turkish guard.</p>
|
|
2123
|
+
<p>In 1800, a treaty between Russia and Turkey declared the Ionian
|
|
2124
|
+
Islands free and Parga a free state. This treaty was acknowledged
|
|
2125
|
+
by the treaty of Amiens in 1802 as well as by England that
|
|
2126
|
+
guaranteed its validity. In turn, Ali Pasha agreed to sign it
|
|
2127
|
+
provided he was given Parga, a condition that was rejected.</p>
|
|
2128
|
+
<p>In 1806, during the Russo-Turkish war he tried to rally the
|
|
2129
|
+
inhabitants by offering them advantageous terms but they refused.
|
|
2130
|
+
He then decided to besiege the city but the treaty of Tilsit which
|
|
2131
|
+
placed the Ionian Islands and Parga under the protection of France
|
|
2132
|
+
thwarted this attempt. He persisted by asking for the consent of
|
|
2133
|
+
the Governor of Corfu, French General Bertiet, who forwarded his
|
|
2134
|
+
request to Napoleon I . The latter's response was negative and is
|
|
2135
|
+
found on a plaque at Mikro Kastra : « Fighting builds a nation ».
|
|
2136
|
+
After the defeat of Napoleon I in Russia, Ali Pasha decided to send
|
|
2137
|
+
his son Muhtar and 6000 Albanians to besiege Haghia which he
|
|
2138
|
+
intended to use as an operations base against Parga. The city was
|
|
2139
|
+
conquered, destroyed and a fortress built on the hills. Aerial view
|
|
2140
|
+
on the Venetian castleHe now believed he was ready for an attack
|
|
2141
|
+
and besieged Parga by land and sea but the Pargians crushed the
|
|
2142
|
+
invaders and ruined their reputation. In 1815, after the abdication
|
|
2143
|
+
of Napoleon I , the French had to give up the Ionian Islands and
|
|
2144
|
+
Epirus but kept Corfu and Ali Pasha pledged his assistance to the
|
|
2145
|
+
English in exchange for Lefkada and Parga. Later in 1816, a treaty
|
|
2146
|
+
is signed between England and Russia granting the possession of the
|
|
2147
|
+
Ionian Islands to England. Ali Pasha then warned the Sultan and the
|
|
2148
|
+
English about the dangers represented by Parga which he accused of
|
|
2149
|
+
being a nest of evildoers. In May 1817, at Ionnina, a treaty is
|
|
2150
|
+
signed between the English and the Turks: Turkey abandoned its
|
|
2151
|
+
claims over the Ionian Islands and is given Pare. Ali Pasha
|
|
2152
|
+
guaranteed the Pargians' life, safety and property.</p>
|
|
2153
|
+
<p>When leaving Parga, each Pargian would receive 150 000 pounds in
|
|
2154
|
+
compensation. On April 1, 1819, the Pargians set sail for a new
|
|
2155
|
+
home but the English Governor of Corfu to whom the money was given
|
|
2156
|
+
kept it for himself. « It was a crime to sell the Pargians to the
|
|
2157
|
+
Turks » denounced generals, poets, popular voices and even some
|
|
2158
|
+
English. After the decapitation of Ali Pasha in 1822, a group of
|
|
2159
|
+
250 Pargians landed at Pagonia and secretly entered Parga without
|
|
2160
|
+
any resistance. The Turks then besieged the city and would have
|
|
2161
|
+
massacred them without the help of 200 Souliotes enabling them to
|
|
2162
|
+
flee to Corfu. The Maniates touched by the desperate struggle of
|
|
2163
|
+
the few remaining Pargians landed at Splantza to join the Souliotes
|
|
2164
|
+
and attack the Turks from the rear but this attempt failed .</p>
|
|
2165
|
+
<p>Parga at nightIn 1831, Resit Mehmet Pasha invited the Pargians
|
|
2166
|
+
to return home but only about 100 families did.</p>
|
|
2167
|
+
<p>In 1847, Parga is sold to Resit Pasha and Rafat Pasha who lease
|
|
2168
|
+
the land at a very high price to the Pargians.</p>
|
|
2169
|
+
<p>In 1913, the Turkish Governor of Parga hands the city to
|
|
2170
|
+
Lieutenant Fetsis.</p>
|
|
2171
|
+
<p>In 1930, escorted by the entire Greek navy, the holy relics, the
|
|
2172
|
+
remains of the ancestors and the flag leave Corfu to return
|
|
2173
|
+
home.</p>
|
|
2174

Lekatsa</groundspeak:short_description>
|

|
+
<groundspeak:long_description html="True">Seraphim Vyzantios, a Greek writer, mentions that the monastery of
|
|
2229
|
+
St. Trinity in Lekatsa, was built at the place of a Byzantine
|
|
2230
|
+
building of 8th or 9th century and was renovated in 1600 and then
|
|
2231
|
+
restored again in 1870.
|
|
2232
|
+
<p>This monastery is built in allocation of rich vegetation,
|
|
2233
|
+
Kortos, NW of the village Myrsine. Its belfry was built in 1813,
|
|
2234
|
+
when a new renovation of the monastery took place, according to an
|
|
2235
|
+
inscription on it. The nave is dedicated to the Birth of Virgin
|
|
2236
|
+
Mary.</p>
|
|
2237
|
+
<p>According to local tradition, when Ag. Kosmas passed from this
|
|
2238
|
+
place, in 1775, he met a bandit who begged him to save his soul.
|
|
2239
|
+
Kosmas prompted him to establish a monastery and a school. Another
|
|
2240
|
+
version claims that Chrysanthos Lekatsas or Lekatsiotis, a member
|
|
2241
|
+
or the renowned family who came from Ithaca and lived in Preveza,
|
|
2242
|
+
was the donor of the monastery.</p>
|
|
2243
|
+
<p>The katholikon (central church) of the monastery was established
|
|
2244
|
+
probably at the end of the 18th century and is a single-spaced
|
|
2245
|
+
basilica. The painted decoration of the interior has been covered
|
|
2246
|
+
with whitewash.</p>
|
|
2247
|
+
<p>The - today ruined - cells to the north of the church were built
|
|
2248
|
+
in 1896 by the prior Gavriil. The same man erected, in 1913, a
|
|
2249
|
+
separate campanile. The monastery is easily accessible using
|
|
2250
|
+
dead-end-road near the village Ano Myrsini.</p>
|
|
2251
|
+
<p>After visiting this holy place you probably like to put an eye
|
|
2252
|
+
at Lekatsa forest. It takes about three hours to walk around it.
|
|
2253
|
+
Apart from the path that is well marked the forest is rather
|
|
2254
|
+
inhospitable and wild. This makes it even more thrilling to stroll
|
|
2255
|
+
through, sunlight spills through the canopy of the treetops onto
|
|
2256
|
+
the dark forest floor reminding you of mystical times of old when
|
|
2257
|
+
centaurs, nymphs and satyrs roamed through the landscapes of
|
|
2258
|
+
people’s imagination.</p>

The Vikos-Aoos National Park is a national park in the periphery of Epirus in northwestern Greece. The national park encompasses 126 square kilometres of mountainous terrain, with numerous rivers, lakes, caves, deep canyons and dense coniferous and deciduous forest. The core of the park (3400 hectares) is the spectacular Vikos Gorge, carved by the Voidomatis river, while Aoos gorge, mount Tymfi, with its highest peak Gamila 2,497 metres (8,190 ft) and a number of traditionally preserved settlements form the park's peripheral zone.

Vikos-Aoos is one of ten national parks in mainland Greece and is located 30 kilometers north of the city of Ioannina. The varied landscape of the area, the rare endemic species of flora and fauna, most of which are in danger of becoming extinct, as well as the cultural features of the traditional settlements, constitute the basic characteristics of the area. The park is part of the Natura 2000 ecological network and has an elevation range from 550 to 2497 meters. During the last years, ecotourism is seen as an alternative to the economic decline of the heavily depopulated local communities, in respect to the natural environment and the local architecture.

The cache was in a very bad condition. There was 1 cm of water inside it, and all items were soaking wet, so some maintenance was in order. I replaced the container with a new one, which is air-tight, so hopefully, there will be no more water in it. I then threw a few items that were damaged (among them, the cache declaration and booklets which even had mold on them from the moisture) and used tissues to dry each of the remaining items. I also replaced the plastic ziploc bag that protected the logbook (which was the only thing in a good state) with a new one (since the old one had patched holes on it), and finally put an additional one inside in case it is needed.

|

|

|
|
2461
|
+
One thing to note is that there was no travelbug in the cache, so either someone took it and forgot to log it, or it was stolen.
|
|
2462
|
+
|
|
2463
|
+
So I guess this should take care of things and the owner can remove the maintenance badge. It'd be nice to put a new cache declaration in and mark the new container that it is a cache.

The Vikos Gorge is a gorge in the Pindus Mountains of northern Greece. It is some 20 km long, and is listed as the deepest gorge in the world by the Guinness Book of Records among others. With walls of up to 1 km in height, the gorge is spectacular.

Driving to Vikos village, right before the village, on your right there is a stone footpath going downstairs. (You may see a sign &#8220;Spring Monastery&#8221;). After 150 meters you will see a stone bench and a little church. Right behind the bench there is a rock (see attached photos).

This was my second time visiting the spot, which has an amazing view to the Vikos gorge and the Gamila peak of mount Tymfi. The first time was with the mountaineering club of Ioannina, where we traversed the gorge from Vikos village (starting at the cache location) to Monodendri, a route which I highly recommend!

About 500 m before Mikro Papigko, on your left you will see the stream of Rogovo and a wooden sign that informs you agout the "kolimpithres" (little lakes like bathtubes formed in the river). Follow the path and you will find the first kolimpithres after 2-3 minutew. The stream at that point looks like a small gorge!

Durring summer dont hesitate to take a swim or just relax in one of the kolimpithres! The history says that even Ali Pasas of Ioannina used to take a swim in those little lakes!

The monastery of Rogovou, dedicated to the memory of Agios Ioannis Prodromos, is also worth to visit. Geographically is located between Tsepelovo and Kapesovo

in a woody slope. According to the tradition it was built by the sister of the emperor Romano the 3rd, Poulheria between 1028-1034. It was destroyed and rebuilt in 1949. The monastery used to be very rich in the past but now it’s abandoned. Close to the monastery starts a small path that leads to a place with great view down to Vikos Gorge.

Plakida’s Bridge (it is also called kalogeriko that means monastic) is a three-arch stone bridge At Voidomatis river, near the villages Kipi and Koukouli. It is called Kalogeriko (monastic) because the old wooden bridge was replaced by a stone one, as a donation of the abbot of the monastery of Profitis Ilias in 1748. Later, in 1863 the bridge was renovated by Alexis and Andreas Plakidas, so it was also named after them.

The Bridge is a really impressive one and really worths visiting!

<groundspeak:short_description html="False">The Lake of Ioannina Pamvotida is Epirus' largest lake.</groundspeak:short_description>
|
|
2751
|
+
<groundspeak:long_description html="False">Its surface is 23 sq. km, its depth is 13 meters and its perimeter is 33 km. It constitutes a very important ecosystem, since it includes an enormous variety of species from the fish fauna and the poultry fauna, as well as a lot of amphibians.
|
|
2752
|
+
The entire surface of the lake has frozen several times in the latest years.
|
|
2753
|
+
In the lake there is the famous island of Ioannina where you can find another cache! There is a regular boat service to the island.
|
|
2754
|
+
|
|
2755
|
+
We strongly suggest that you should take a walk along the lake and admire the area!
|
|
2756
|
+
|
|
2757
|
+
The cache is a small round magnetic cache containing a log paper and some small trade items. Remember to have a pen with you!!!

As soon as I parked the car, we saw two young kids with their bicycles already very near the cache spot. At first, we thought they were there by chance, so we were going to wait for them to leave first, but soon after we saw them pulling out a plastic bag and it turned out it was the cache! (So we didn't even had the chance to look for it!) We were startled and could not believe it. What are the chances?
|
|
2904
|
+
|
|
2905
|
+
So we considered two options: one was to take the cache with us and return it to the owner and the other was to leave the cache and try to explain to the kids what the game is about and ask them to leave the cache as-is. We eventually decided to do the latter: we approached the kids and made a kind request to give us the cache and spent 10 minutes explaining to them what the game is about. We then told them how important it is to leave the cache as-is and not tell anyone about it. So, right after the kids left, we made a trade and hid the cache again (I think I got the spot right).

I sincerely hope this cache makes it!

It is located in the area of Pirgos Drossini house.
|

Drosinis Tower in Gouves is built on a rock and dominates the whole region. It is a two-storied edifice of a 100 square meters of area with stone-made one-meter-wide walls. For the region, it is a most significant building of Venetian architecture.
|
|
2956
|
+
|
|
2957
|
+
It was built during the first years of the 19th century by its then owner, the Turk Ibrahim-Aga. After 1821, it was sold to Alexander Thesyllas and Baptistis Drosos and in 1831 it was resold to Constantine Petrokokkinos, grandfather of the famous Greek writer, George Drosinis. After that, it passed to the property of the village?s priest, Stavros Papaioannou and later on to his offsprings. Today, it belongs to the community of Gouves.
|
|
2958
|
+
|
|
2959
|
+
The building started being restored by the community of Gouves (supported financially by the Ministry of Culture), after the 1st Ephorate of Contemporary and Modern Monuments approved the relevant restoration study in 1988.
|
|
2960
|
+
|
|
2961
|
+
By a ministerial decree of 1988, the building was identified as a preserved monument.

<groundspeak:text encoded="False">This was part of our cache tour with gtarl in Orchomenos. It was an easy find once we visited it again during the noon, when the entrance to the archaeological space was closed. My GPS pointed us to the right spot, and Gianna found it quickly! Sadly, there was no space left in the log (the last geocacher to find it before us probably made a typo saying "no nearly full"). First, we tried to replace the log with an empty one I had with me, but the cache was too small. So in the end, we decided to take the cache and the old log with us and place a new cache with an empty log in the exact same spot. We also signed the new log.
|
|
3085
|
+
|
|
3086
|

As for the old cache and the log we took, I intend to return them to the cache owner.

Please note that the cache is no longer black; it is silver.

* In 338 BCE, after a whirlwind march south into central Greece,
|
|
3220
|
+
Philip II of Macedon defeated Thebes and Athens on the plain of
|
|
3221
|
+
Chaironeia, establishing Macedonian supremacy over the city-states,
|
|
3222
|
+
and demonstrated the young Alexander's prowess. During Alexander
|
|
3223
|
+
the Great's campaign against Thebes (335), Orchomenos took the side
|
|
3224
|
+
of the Macedonian. In recompense, Philip and Alexander rebuilt
|
|
3225
|
+
Orchomenos, when the theatre and the fortification walls, visible
|
|
3226
|
+
today, were constructed. <a rel="nofollow"

This was one of the caches we visited during our cache tour in Orchomenos with gtarl. First, we visited the cache near the Tomb of Minyas, but since it wasn't possible to search for the nano without being noticed, we decided to postpone it until the entrance was closed and to head for this one.

I parked the car next to the road and prepared for the climb. Gianna stayed in the car due to the difficulty of the ascent. I decided to take the advice of yannisp, so I headed straight towards the castle. It took me only 20 minutes to get there, and I immediately started searching for the cache. 1.5 hours later, and after searching, virtually, under every single stone, I was tired and disappointed, so I decided to call it quits. Before leaving, I decided to see at least for one last time where my GPS was pointing me (reception is not that good near the walls), and it was then when I realized it was pointing me to a spot I hadn't searched that well. I went there, looked under the stone, removed a small stone, and voila! The cache was there, in a perfect condition. So easy, yet so difficult with all those rocks, the thick vegetation and the bad reception near the walls...

I signed the log, traded some items, and put the cache back in its place. After taking some pictures, I began descending. 10 minutes later, though, I realized I had forgotten to notice what was the number written on the cache! So I made a U-turn and started climbing again. 10 seconds after that turn, I heard a dreadful hiss, which was the unmistakable sound a snake when it feels threatened and is ready to attack. I immediately changed course and started running for 10-20 meters to escape the danger and then resumed my ascent. I went back, took the cache out again, noticed the number, placed it back, and started descending again. It took me 15 minutes, and I was back on the road, tired yet thankful.

Some advice for this one:
|
|
3246
|
+
|
|
3247
|
+
- Do NOT even think of going for this one, unless it's late in the fall or winter. I cannot image how many snakes there will be during the summer. It isn't worth the risk.
|
|
3248
|
+
- Bring some water with you. Unless it's freezing outside, you will need it.
|
|
3249
|
+
- Be prepared for a difficult descent if you don't have proper climbing shoes/boots to protect your ankle from sprains.
|
|
3250
|
+
- Finding the cache is more easy than you may initially think. Try searching in the easy places first, even if it's a few meters away from where your GPS points you.
