+YanniG Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Shall we arrange some meeting to know each other here in Greece? At the previous and first in Greece we made it 4 people ! ! ! Yeah, this is the current record ! If we meet more than 4 people at the next one, it will be a success!!! So let's hear some dates that will be convenient to most of you ! See U at the meeting !

+lathama Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 if you do, i'll come over on holiday Quote Link to comment
+Antonis_GR Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Nice idea! I think that it will be much better to arrange it in the summer, to give the opportunity to geocachers from other countries to join. So... We 'll be in contact. Quote Link to comment
+YanniG Posted January 6, 2006 Author Share Posted January 6, 2006 I think we should arrange a meeting long before summer. For the summer holidays we can arrange another meeting...there is plenty of time... But I don't see any volunteers for the meeting ! What if we announced that there will be free beer? Or free souvlaki? Quote Link to comment
+$hogun Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Yup - thats a good point. I am there around Easter - i will look up the exact times ;-) Quote Link to comment
+YanniG Posted January 7, 2006 Author Share Posted January 7, 2006 Ντροπή μας ! Δηλώνουνε οι ξένοι και δεν δηλώνουμε εμείς;;;; Quote Link to comment
+$hogun Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Where is the problem with that? Quote Link to comment
+YanniG Posted January 8, 2006 Author Share Posted January 8, 2006 My friend, the problem is that there are volunteers from outside Greece and only two willing from Greece... It is a shame in a country with 10 million people such healthy sports to be totally unknown to the people... At the same time I see some geocaching gatherings in Europe with at least 50 people at each one... It is a shame for the way people live here...They have "improoved" their lives so much that they move only with their cars and they always park them outside the stores they want because they don't want to walk a block... In some words I declare all this in my Greek words.There is nothing offending you my friend $hogun ! Yanni Quote Link to comment
+$hogun Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Well i knew that - i understood. Well what about a meeting around Easter holidays? ;-) Quote Link to comment
+YanniG Posted January 8, 2006 Author Share Posted January 8, 2006 At the calendar I see that from 15/4 to 30/4 we will be having the Easter holidays. If nobody else shows up, I can be somewhere and meet you my friend ! Do not worry, you can meet at least one Greek geocacher as you come here! Anybody else (local or foreigner) for the Easter meeting? Yanni Quote Link to comment
+Antonis_GR Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Hello-hello! Of course I am in too! Yanni you can arrange the meeting anytime you want and I will be there! Nice to meet you $hogun, I hope to see you soon at the meeting. Regards, Antonis Quote Link to comment
+Uniacke Raiders Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Did I hear someone mention "free beer" ???? Those words carried all the way to Canada ! Seriously, an event is a great way to bring local cachers together. Geocaching is growing in Greece and now with a Greek section in the forums an event will also attract visitors to Greece also. My wife and I visited Greece last year and had a fantastic time. We also met Yanni who is a great ambassador for Geocaching in Greece. We will be returning to Greece again but we're not sure just when. Good Luck with your next event. Paul Quote Link to comment
+dimitris Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Three willing in Greece I agree with Yanni, we should arrange a brief meeting asap, and then arrange a bigger meeting/event in the summer where more people from abroad can join for a hunt! Quote Link to comment
+dimitris Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Yanni is right, geocaching is not at all popular in Greece. Actually GPSr are not very popular in Greece yet, with Greek street level maps being introduced only for Garmin at the moment. Magellan has not announced any plans. It is interesting that Greece is considered Western Europe, but not included in Western Europe GPS maps. Quote Link to comment
+Antonis_GR Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Hi Dimitri, welcome to Greek Geocaching Forum. All agree with Yanni to arrange a meeting asap. So... Yanni has work to do My friend Yianni, you have just to plan it and announce the time and the place... About the free beer and souvlaki: Paul and $hogun, if you come to the first meeting you will have as much beer you can drink (and souvlakia too) Good luck, Antonis Quote Link to comment
+YanniG Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 So, for the 4th of February 2006 is it a good date? If you have a better date please suggest. Let's say at 12:00 but where? Where would you like to meet? Maybe by the sea? I suggest as a meeting place outside Ostria cafeteria at Alimos. And when we meet then we can get inside at the warm and have some hot tea or chocolate ! What do you think? Come on people, let's meet ! ! ! We share the shame amazing hobby ! ! !

+Antonis_GR Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 (edited) Hi, On 4th of February I'll be to Xylokastro. I 'll be in Athens on 14 & 28th of January (Saturdays). Ostria is O.K., 12:00 is perfect! So... I think that 14th is too close. I suggest the 28th of January to Ostria (N37 54,614 E23 42,6833") at 12:00. Do you agree? Let's be more hi-tech... I attach a google map for the meeting point... ... Edited January 15, 2006 by Antonis_GR Quote Link to comment
+YanniG Posted January 15, 2006 Author Share Posted January 15, 2006 (edited) So, the new date for the first Greek Geocaching Meeting for the 2006 is the 28th of January ! The place has the coordinates: N37 54,614' E23 42,6833' and the time is 12:00 in the noon. All friends are welcome ! Yanni Edited January 15, 2006 by Antonis_GR Quote Link to comment
+Antonis_GR Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 (edited) So.... 2006's First Greek Geocaching Meeting 1 FREE BEER INCLUDED Edited January 19, 2006 by Antonis_GR Quote Link to comment
eliasbats Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 I read all about the meeting at the "geocaching event" page! I was so jealous, but I couldn't make it to Athens (from Tripoli) due to the exams period. I'm sure you discussed important matters for the sake of geocahing in Greece and also had fun. Next time I'll be there, I promise. Quote Link to comment
diasostis Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Of corse in Athens , alwais in Athens , hey there is Thessaloniki to!!!! or Volos where the distance is in half for north and south greece. Quote Link to comment
+Antonis_GR Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 (edited) Welcome my friend! Where have you been from the 2nd of January, when YanniG posted the first message for the meeting??? All theese days we talk about the date and place... About Athens now... all Greek geocachers who posted messages live in Athens. Do you believe that it would be better to arrange the meeting to Thessaloniki??? Additionally, please let me be inform you that the "fight" between Norths and Souths is over long time ago... If you had post a message saying your oppinion, the meeting could be to Thessaloniki. O.K.? Personally, I love this city! Regards, Antonis Edited January 31, 2006 by Antonis_GR Quote Link to comment
+YanniG Posted January 30, 2006 Author Share Posted January 30, 2006 (edited) My friend diasostis, none says that you can not innitiate a greek geocaching meeting in Thessaloniki ! Every geocacher can start a new meeting wherever he wants ! The key is to be attended by as many people as it can be. Please organise such a meeting and then wait to see whether people from other parts of Greece will attend ! My friend, here we are to spend our free time on our beloved hobby, not for fights. And none stops you from placing new caches around Thessaloniki or the north of greece.Do it and see how many geocachers will travel from the other parts of Greece just to find the caches ! You are welcome to the forums ! YanniG Edited January 30, 2006 by YanniG Quote Link to comment
