    Crete is the largest Greek island and the fifth largest in the Mediterranean Sea. Crete consists of limestone terrain that was uplifted during the Alpine orogeny. It is very mountainous, with three mountain ranges reaching high-altitude parameters - Idi in the center of the island (with the highest peak Psiloritis, 2456 m, the most prominent mountain in Greece and the entire Hellenic region), Lefka Ori in the west (highest Pachnes, 2453 m) and Dikti in the east (highest Spathi, 2148 m). All three highest mountains of these ranges are ultra-prominent.
