Very beautiful scenery. A must-visit place for families and hikers altogether. Requires at least a day of your holidays.

Location Western Kreta (Crete) 60 kilometers in length, from west to the east and 38 from north to south occupy most of the Chania and part of Rethymnon perfectures. ​ The White Mountains, or Lefka Ori, or even Madares, as called by locals, deriving from the ancient word "madaros" that means deserted - barren! How better one could describe this huge massif, the largest on the island and its highest summit of Pachnes (2.453 m). The heart of this imposing range includes the Mountain Desert, where more than fifty peaks named Sori (piles), reminding of cones, exceed the altitude of 2.000 m. Dolines, reminding of upturned cones are formed at the foot of Sori peaks. This creepy and haunting landscape is a unique geological formation in the entire northern hemisphere. Hiking in the White Mountains requires fitness, experience and a good sense of orientation.
