A puzzle giveaway

Closed
TheGreatGooglyMoogly

I created a private giveaway that nobody is likely to win so instead of cancelling it I thought I'd give everyone another chance.

I'm going on a trip to five places.

Xyliatos, Cyprus
Khasar, Tajikistan
Gatitu Kenya
Mangrol, Gujarat
Sambava, Madagascar

The giveaway closes in about a day so don't take too long.

Clue: Don't think too laterally.

Edit: a different site to the one I used is giving a different result for the one in Tajikistan so you might need to add 1 to it

Edit: Google seems to think Khasar is in Afghanistan. Wow it updates fast these days. Anyway, their one works too.

Plugging the longitudinal coordinates of the cities into a hex decoder gives the letter/number.

There were no hints at all to use ascii code, and no reason at all to assume that the longitude numbers were actually hex. (I guess I could have noticed they were all ascii printable characters? But that's just such a... idk, reaching a bit.) Ah well, guess it's something to keep in mind for future puzzles.

Thanks for the puzzle!
