Wow! That really was a 5!
I started at 08.00 in the morning from Dion (Agios Konstantinos).
After walking all the Orlia stream to Koromilia, I headed to Petrostrouga, where I arrived at 14.00. I found in the refuge Barba-Giorgos, a sheppard, and he told me that it is at least 2 hrs walking to the junction of Kleftovrisi.
I ate I left my backpack, and at 15.00 I started my trip to the cache. With flashlight food and enough water for 6-7 hours.
Now the things got worst. All day it was raining and my shoes were like lakes. The GPS with Anavasi maps did not had the main path from Petrostrouga neither the small path to the Kleftovrisi. My Anavasi map had the junction of the Kleftovrisi in wrong point. So without knowing what to do, i started climbing down the empty stream, that according to map AND gps was heading strait to the cache.
That was pretty dangerous, because the rocks were very slippy and I was alone on my trip. I slept and fall twice, thankfully without any injury, and in one of the falls I lost my map.
Finally I managed to get to the cache place. I was waiting something more spectacular!!! The Vrisi (tap) had just some drops of water, but the place was very magical. There was coming from between the rocks and were driven by a big piece of wood.
I did not take any picture there because I really was frustrated by the map that had the path in wrong point, and I really was afraid that it was going to dark before i get back to the refuge.
The return was easier, because I found the marked path in other point that my map was showing.
So i will just post picture from my way back.
I will give a favorite
Well done Spyros
Thanks for the cache!

Πετρόστρουγκα - Οροπέδιο (Κάκκαλος) (απόθεση τσάντας) - Λούκι - Μύτικας - Κακοσκάλα - Σκάλα - Γολγοθάς - Χιονότρυπα - Ζωνάρια - Οροπέδιο
Against all odds!
Started at 8.00 from Petrostrouga. At 11, with slow pace I was at Kakkalos Ref. During my trip there, at Yossos pass I found some people and they told that Mytikas was not for today.
Anyway, when i arrived at the ref-c, the owner informed that it has not rained since yesterday night, and now that it is midday probably it will be dry. He told me "rest and go for it". So at 12.00 I started alone my way to the top, and also to some other geocaches. The earthcache and the Chionotrypa were in the program.
The ascent from Louki is not easy, but it is easier than the photos i had been seeing so long in the internet.
I found really difficult only two steps, where i had to go back a step and choose different "line". Anyway, someone has just to follow the markings
After half an hour from Zonaria I was in the top. It was Wednesday, so I did not meet any people while going up, so I really was on my own.
The cache was found quickly, we do not want to lose time up there, thanks to the spoiler pic. I found there two englishmen that descended from Kakoskala much faster the me.
Only clouds but no rain fortunately. I went back from kakoskala in order to head to the earthcache. I am glad I choosed Louki to go up and Kakoskala to go back. I do not believe that Kaokoskala is more safer on the way up, as i show both "paths". Kakoskala looked much more slippery
Really thanks for this 5/5!
FP of coarse!
Another great adventure, another Spyrus type of cache.
It was a great day and that was the last cache of the day.
After starting from Petrostrouga and headed to Kakkalos, I left my bag and went to Louki, Mytikas, Kakoskala, Skala, and then I went sown the E4 and climbed to Chionotrypa. I regret for that, but i had lost my map.
The best route was from Skala to Skolio, then Agios Antonios, then Chionotrypa. Is a bit longer, but you stay on high altitude, around 2800, while I climbed down to 2450 and then up again to the Chionotrypa.
The cache is there and found easily thanks to the detailed hint by the owner.
After this hard day, i went back to Kakkalos for rest. I slept before the dark came!!
Thanks for the adventure cache
