White Mountains (Lefka Ori)

Located in the west of Crete, the White Mountains, or Lefka Ori, offer a striking contrast to the island’s sun-baked beaches. These mountains, often dusted with snow in winter and early spring, provide a haven for hikers and nature enthusiasts. The rugged terrain and diverse flora and fauna make for a rewarding exploration, with trails winding through deep gorges and up to panoramic peaks. Visitors can experience the serene beauty of the landscape, from the crisp mountain air to the vibrant colors of wildflowers in the warmer months.
