Pachnes (2453m) in the White Mountains of Crete

I long thought that Pachnes, apart from being the highest summit of the White Mountains, had nothing much spectacular, not much of a "personality". And it is true that, being very much at the center it doesn't offer spectacular views of the coastline. It doesn't have much of a distinctive shape either, with a rather flat top that extends for about 2 km. But what it has is being at the center, right in the middle of this lunar landscape that characterizes the White Mountains at high altitude. And it is so isolated that it gives you the feeling that you are the only person left on the planet.
