Lefka Ori (The White Mountains)
|
Lefka Ori is situated in Chania County. It is the second highest mountain range in Crete (highest peak Pachnes, 2.453 m). | |
The mountains, which are rich in limestone, are folded mountains, formed during the tertiary period about 10 million years ago. | ||
The photos are from my trip to Lefka Ori in 2002. | ||
