Crete: The White Mountains
by Loraine Wilson

From the Cicerone Guides series.

Describes 49 walks and 21 treks graded from modest to demanding in this spectacularly beautiful range of mountains in the west of Crete. Includes the Samaria gorge, high mountains up to 2500m and glorious coastal walks. Omalos Plateau, the northern foothills, the Askyfou plateau, Anopolis, the south coast and high mountain trekking routes.

With an agreeable climate, an amazing landscape and a history stretching back to the start of civilisation, Crete, with its proud but friendly people, makes an outstanding destination. Rising to 2453 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 2100m (7000ft). 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.
