Pachnes, Mountain summit in White Mountains, Greece
Pachnes reaches an elevation of 2,453 meters within the Lefka Ori massif, making it the second highest peak of Crete island in Greece.
The mountain path from Anopoli village passes through territories where resistance fighters sought refuge during Ottoman occupation in the 18th century.
Local shepherds maintain seasonal shelters near the base, continuing centuries-old traditions of Mediterranean mountain livestock management throughout summer months.
The ascent requires a 4x4 vehicle to reach the trailhead at 1,950 meters, followed by a 6.5-kilometer hike through marked paths to the summit.
The mountain environment contains over 30 cone-shaped peaks rising from a limestone plateau, creating a geological formation known as the mountain desert.
