This one was definetely the last cache on Crete island for this holiday and it really was a highlight.
We knew the monument from one of our last holidays but never knew of the connection to the church on the plain. We first tried to drive up the first described and signposted way to the plain but had to u-turn because the road was getting too bad even for brave 4x4 Jimny.
So we took the route past Ano Symny and combined with the cache there. We were not prepared that the journey will take that long. The dirt road is better than the other one but it is really long and it was getting late. The plain has fantastic views and we enjoyed it really.
But we took the wrong way to the cache. Arriving at the church in the plain we did not realize that we should continue the dirt road but followed our GPS in a severe hike uphill just to end up at a fence 40 metres before the cache, so we just made the same mistake like Team Omilos. This was also because we were not really sure if we had calculated the correct final coordinates. We passed the fence the snake way and were happy to easily find the box at sundown.
All the time we were thinking about the hard way back that still lied before us but the breathtaking view of the sunset in the plain did not let us worry too much. We went back down to the plain on the road and stopped every few metres for taking pictures. When we arrived at the car the first stars were showing up, unfortunately there were some clouds otherwise it would have been a wonderful view. We drove back the same route as we came up very carefully.
This was a great adventure, thank you for taking us here.
