If your heart lies in the mountains rather than the sea, Crete will not disappoint you!

You can plan hiking, cycling, or any activity that invigorates you and allows you to breathe freely atop a lofty peak.

Crete boasts several prominent mountain ranges. In Lassithi, there's the Dikti mountain range, crowned by its highest peak, Spathi, reaching 2,148 metres. Central Crete is home to Psiloritis, where the peak of the Holy Cross stands tall at 2,456 metres. And in Chania, you'll encounter the majestic White Mountains, the largest range on the island, with Pachnes towering at 2,453 metres.
