veiw of Lassithi plateau 
Lassithi plateau one of the few areas in the Mediterranean featuring permanent residents at a high altitude – over 800 meters and covers an area of approximately 25 sq kilometers. It is a colorful patchwork of fertile green and yellow fields, encircled by high mountain ranges and irrigated by windmills.
It was in 1543 that Greek refugees from the Turkish occupied mainland came here and resettled the region, re-establishing orchards and vineyards. 10,000 windmills were built during the 1800s, and although only few of them are used today.
For the cache you have to hike about an hour. From the parking place the route is not easy but clear.
