Looks pretty dry up there.

Luckily last summer one had chances like this:

The current winter seems to be different, and poor of snow also there. Yesterday one of my Facebook friends made it to the summit without skis.
KR, Alberto.

Yor know that I like these. I also like the Anavasi maps (best for Greece, unfortunately with incomplete coverage). I do remember labeling Crete panos with a map at my desk. Nowadays, I increasingly use peakfinder.org for areas not covered by Deuschle - also gives a very reasonable coverage in this example. Cheers, Martin

The peakfinder reference looks indeed good.
Incidentally, the Lefka Ori mark my unique contribution to Geonames, since I entered the correct names of some major summits, which had been liberally scrambled. But I soon interrupted the job, when I was not able to enter the correct position of Kakovoli, only because the name had been previously "thrown" down somewhere on the flanks of the mountain.
I continuously got the appalling message "there is already one Kakovoli in the vicinity". Recall also that "kako" in Greek means nasty...
So, I decided that humanitarian jobs such as contributing geonames are suited only to rich and/or retired people - in one word, not to me.
And I returned to the old paper map!
Cheers, Alberto.
