Geography of Crete, Greece

Crete, in the eastern Mediterranean is the largest and most mountainous of the Greek islands. If fact the mountains dominate the landscape on all sides of the island, the highest peak being Timos Stavros 2,456 meters above sea level. The Limestone Mountains give the island fertile plateaus and spectacular caves that have a great tradition in Greek Mythology. The dramatic gorges formed from the mountain streams also give life to botanical gardens that are home to plants and animals that do not exist anywhere else in the world.
