Nature & landscapes
Gorges, caves, peaks, plateaus and lakes
Behind the beaches, Crete is a mountain island: three ranges above 2,000 m, hundreds of gorges, caves linked to the myths of Zeus, high plateaus and rare palm forests. Spring and autumn are the best seasons for walking; in summer, start early and carry plenty of water.
