OUR LAND

The White Mountains of Crete

The majestic scenery of the White Mountains consists of breathtaking peaks, beautiful gorges and countless caves.

Their mass extends 50 km long and 40 km wide, while approximately 50 of their peaks exceed 2000m height.

These special characteristics have protected the White Mountains from human intervention and preserved the natural attributes of the land, keeping it impervious to pollution.

Stemming from the White Mountains, a place blessed by Mother Nature, the springs offer their water generously throughout the year.
