Mountains

Mega Oros (ie. big mountain) by Askyfou is one of the peaks of the eastern part of the White Mountains in the cluster of Agathes. It has an altitude of 1181 meters and is located near the location Akones, above Imbros. Mega Oros offers a unique view of the plateau Askyfou and the central core of the White Mountains on the west.

Southeast of the Monastery of Arkadi on the western slopes of Psiloritis, the wood Aravanes is formed which climbs up to the peak of Mygia. Access is possible through rough dirt roads that start from Ancient Eleftherna or west of Arkadi Monastery, which owns large areas here.

The inaccessible area of Gournia is located in the Asterousia Mountains, between Vathi beach and the rugged location of Sideropetra. In Gournia, five consecutive fjords are formed, the largest of which, for some years, forms an amazing tiny beach.

The mountain of Asiderotas or Siderotas is located in the south part of Rethymnon prefecture and is essentially a branch of Kedros mount and continuation of Xiro Oros Mountain. It is separated from Kedros through the river Akoumianos, while its most important settlements are Akoumia and Ardaktos.

Mount Orno is located in the province of Sitia and its highest peak is Spathi at 1238m. It includes the area of Kapsas to the west and the mountains of ancient Praesus to the east, while in the south it is separated from the range of Thrypti from the Bebonas valley.

Between the settlements Tsigounas and Platia Peramata there are several beaches with the characteristic black pebble of southern Crete. One of the most unknown and secluded is the long beach of Agios Onoufrios, in a secluded location with many greenhouses almost hanging from the cliffs.

Timios Stavros or Kouloukonas (1076m) is the second highest peak of the Talean Mountains after Koutsotroulis (1084m). The top hosts the temple of the Holy Cross (Timios Stavros) and can be accessed from the village Apladiana through a dirt road initially and then through a hiking path.

Koutsotroulis or Koutsotroulos is the highest peak of the Talean Mountains reaching an altitude of 1084m. Access to the top is possible via a dirt road that starts approximately at the middle of the road connecting the village Doxaro with the Monastery Vossako. This dirt road serves the wind park that is installed at the top of Koutsoroulis.
