Decayed Monastery "Agía Ekateríni"

This Cache was placed at the decayed monastery "Agía Ekateríni" (or "Ayía Aikateríni"), near the northeast cape of Corfu.

The monastery 

The location is in the forest on the island "Nissos", that is bordered by the lagoon lake "Antiniótis" in the south and its inflows on eastern and western side. The Antinióti-lagoon is a valuable biotope and paradise for birds with an interesting flora and fauna.

The church

The monastery named after "St. Catherine" dates from 1713 and is not open to the public. Nevertheless there is an open entrace at the given Waypoint on the western side. Inside you find ruinous remains of the buildings, the decoratet entrance of the church and an overgrown olive mill. Be careful as always in lost places! Dont't miss to climb the stairs of the "tower" in the north-west corner of the monastery (accessible from outside) and enjoy the view from there!

Olive mill
 
You can reach the location by car/scooter only from Ágios Spirídonas (from East). Park your vehicle at the roadside near the monastery. From Acharávi (from West) the island is only accessible by bike or by foot.

Team Tommy will maintain the Cache. Thank you for this!

Have fun with the cache, Trollmond!

Heute führte uns Geocaching zu diesen verlassenen Ort.
Erstaunlich, was es hier noch alles zu entdecken gibt!
Vor Ort trafen wir noch eine Cacherfamilie aus der Heimat! Viele Grüße!

After spending the day with dodo22 and her friends - I left her 5 days ago in Sarande - I found a nice place close to that cache on the beach where I could spend the night in my camping bus. In the evening sun I took a walk and enjoyed the mystic athmosphere at that lost monastery but unfortunately it was too late for having a look inside. Thanx.

This cache I already found before I had an account on Opencaching.de
Now I decided to copy the Logpost from back then to have it also "found" on Opencaching :D

In the evening caffee06 and I went to this cache and afterwards spent nearly an hour more to explore this cool place! Thanks for showing us this location which we probably would never have discovered without Geocaching!
Ceranilo 😊

Very nice cache (directly below a hornets' nest, which in turn is directly below a bee hive - but the distance was far enough, so they didn't feel threatened 🙂)
