NOTE
1. The marker was placed by combining the directions in Goodison & Guarita [2005] 184 and Herrero [2014] 182. GG provide a GPS coordinate for Kaloi Limenes B: 34°56'00"N, 24°47'48"E. Herrero says that Kali Limenes A is '... located 250 m away; ...'. A first circle of 250 m radius can now be drawn around Kali Limenes B. KL A is somewhere on that circle but where? In GG 184 there are some ambiguous directions for KL A: 'Location: WNW of Kaloi Limenes, on slope of Kalogeros. Heading from Kaloi Limenes towards Moni Odiyitria, after 300m take first left down rough road past house of Nikos Lithakis, then after c. 200m, above corrugated shed, leave rough road and climb uphill for c. 300m. ' The house of Nikos Lathakis is probably at F4599. The spot from which a 300 m. uphill climb should be taken is at 34.931777°, 24.795884°. From this point a second, 300 m., circle can be drawn. The intersection of the first and second circles gives the approximate location for Kaloi Limenes A.
