Crete - The White Mountains (Cicerone)
Ref: CIC279
With an agreeable climate, an amazing landscape, a history stretching back to the start of civilisation, Crete, with its proud but friendly people, makes an outstanding destination. Rising to 2,453 metres, the White Mountains are the jewel of Crete's six mountain ranges. The guide comprises extensive walking and trekking from the five main trekking centres which are Omalos, Askyfou, Anopolis, northern foothills and the south coast. There are forty-nine walks ranging from spectacular gorge walks and coastal walks to strenuous ascents of the main peaks.
Six mountain ranges make up the backbone of the island, but quite the best is the Lefka Ori, or White Mountains, where several peaks rise to over 2,100m (7,000ft). Five good walking centres that are connected one with the other by bus or boat are also easily reached by bus from Chania. All are within 2 hours journey of the airport.
