    Setting the scene...
    In case it wasn't clear, Lefka Ori are the White Mountains, the second highest range in Crete, topping out at 2453 meters!
    I was very lucky that it rained a lot during the week before I arrived, which meant a nice cover of snow on the summits, really reinforcing the contrast with the Mediterranean coastline.     Posted 2 years ago, modified 2 years ago
