Enjoy the view of Crete from above and the stars from below!
From Heraklio take the road towards Anogeia and from there follow the signs for the Skinakas observatory. You can park on the mountain top where the road ends. From there, you will have to hike for a short distance. You will be walking on a very rocky terrain, but no climbing is required (see photo). The cache contains various things to trade as well as pen and log book, but bring your own pen just in case. An employee from the observatory has offered to look after the cache. If you actually want to visit the domes and look at the telescopes, public tours are held on specific dates displayed on a sign close to the observatory.
PLEASE NOTE: When logging your entry your logs should be in ENGLISH so that everyone understands what you write. The cache description is written in English and therefore we believe that the logs should follow the same language. If you don't speak English a simple "TFTC" is enough! Failure to do so will result in your log being deleted.
