Geocache Description:

A nice 4x4 ride ***, or a severe hike (20Km) ***** to one of the most beautiful beach of south of Crete.

Also reachable from the sea.

From Timbaki or Mires, go to Sivas then follow Listaros, continue till Odigitrias Monastery. There, you'll start the hike (20 km total) or off road ride. Follow Vathi-Kefali (remember greek caligraphy of those names).



Where pirates reached the shore


At the WP N 34°56.657 E 024°45.855 you may go right to "Treasure of Vathi", or left to "Kefali Monastery"(that you can combinate with this).
Best is to start with Kefali and finish the day on the beautiful beach of Vathi (27 km total).
This is also reachable from the sea, and surely even nicer hunt.

"Before leaving Crete to sail back to Belgium, the two geo-pirates The Rach and The Rën had to hide their treasure in the creek of Vathi, this is maybe the most realistic treasure hunt they ever proposed to search for"
Thanks for coming.

(Visitors are requested for some maintenance if necessary, don't forget essentials items)
