Psiloritis Mountain, with its peak at 2,456m, is notably the tallest mountain in Crete.
Greek mythology stories prominently feature the Psiloritis mountain range, specifically Idaion Antron. Folklore states that this cave was the nurturing ground for Deus, the Supreme God. Ancient Zominthos ruins and neighboring expanses bear the testimony of the mountain’s habitation since the Minoan era. Signs of landscape utilization over different periods are evident in the dispersed settlements along the mountain edges and the extensive pastoral activities undertaken by native locals on the mountain slopes.
