No, but when we see you in Plakias, if it has not been guessed by then, I will show you where it is.

Here is another clue, in the same village.

Isn't there a tunnel wotsit in Mariou? Don't remember it looking like that though or any statue/sculpture thingy.

Fits the 10km rule though

I'd prefer a Mythos but if you insist...

Ahh I am All knowing and omnipotent... muhaaaaaa muhaaaaaaaa

Or maybe I cheated

Well maybe you didn't cheat.
The answer was there for those who looked.

A Mythos is a potential prize.

Phew - well done Paul. We have been to, and I believe, stopped off at Alones. Probably seen the statue and the place you were sitting at but don't remember the tunnel. I'll trawl through some old photos at the weekend to see if I've photographed the place.

Well I started off by scouring photos in Google Earth and then I remembered that you have a habit of captioning your photos (i.e Breakfast at 1 in the afternoon for certain nameless people!)

So off I trotted to compage.com (you can right-click -> Properties on John's posted piccy to see where they come from)

Lo and behold....



There we are, taken on the 12th of September 2004 on the Plakforms Safari. We weren't there as the Safari started way before breakfast time, just as well as we would not have had all this fun!

Quite right.
I knew those clues were there but was surprised it took so long for someone to find them.
Well done and the Mythos is yours next month.

This one is not in Crete so I am not looking for a guess.
In truth, it is off-topic, so Ploppy would be well within his remit to delete it.
But it is a lovely place, and it is in Greece, so here it is.
