Crete's Mountains and Coasts
Crete stretches east to west between the Aegean and Libyan seas. Mountain ranges divide its coasts and create plateaus, valleys and deep walking gorges.
Santorini / Your next move
Bring this chapter to life.
Keep exploring Santorini with our travel partners.
The White Mountains, Psiloritis and Dikti ranges explain why nearby points on a map may take time to connect. Samaria and Imbros offer different gorge landscapes in the west; Lasithi is a high inland plateau; Lake Kournas is a freshwater contrast to the coast. Geography is central to planning where to stay and hike.
Useful to know
Allow more time for mountain crossings than a straight-line map distance suggests.
For gorge walks, check current trail conditions and weather before setting out.
