The ultimate highlands of the island of Crete, the so-called Madares, are located in the White Mountains. The quest of this hike is Mt. Pachnes: at 2453m it stands second only by a mere 3 meters to Mt. Psiloritis at 2456m.
This adventure calls for travel in 4 x 4 vehicles in order to access a parking plateau three hours from the top. The landscape of Pachnes is barren, almost Martian-like; the views from the summit are breathtaking, almost surreal — on a clear day you can see forever.
This trip can be combined with other spectacular hikes in the same area, including the E4 European long distance path, that meanders east-west along the spine of Crete.
